Love Is...

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoings but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all thins, endures all things."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

The bible's definition of love is beautiful.  Often I find myself being impatient, arrogant, rude, and irritable.  I have to remind myself that those things are NOT love.  Love is patient, love is kind.
Think about the way that you love others.  Is it patient and kind?  Does it envy or boast?  Is it arrogant or rude?  Does it insist on its own way?  Is it irritable or resentful?  Does it rejoice at wrongdoings?
If it is any of those things, the bible would say that you aren't loving others the way that you should.  Please carefully consider these verses.  Love is a big part of our lives.  And being loved right, is a big blessing.
