Love Defined

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬ True love is always demonstrated by action. Patient is long suffering. Endures for a long time Kind -simple acts of kindness Not jealous. Cain wanted Abels blessing and he killed for it Boastful. Loving actions just to show off. Pride "looking for glory" to look like love Proud...self focused not needs of others has a big head Behaving rudely Not demand its own way-my way or the highway love looks at the interest of others Provoked or irritated- sin not love. Kept Moses from the promised land Keeps no record of wrongs- let it go ! Stands on the truth not injustice Bear all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things 1 Peter 4:8 (CSB) Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.
