Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV Biblegateway
Today is Valentine’s Day or national Hallmark card day or single awareness day. Love it or hate it, celebrate it or not today is the day so let’s talk about love.
Unconditional, redeeming,not easily hurt, puts others needs first, not self centered. The movie Redeeming Love, still in theaters demonstrates this unconditional love.
This unconditional love does not have to encompass just the romantic sense but is meant for the kind of love shown to everyone. Read the book of Hosea in the Old Testament for more on this love Hosea showed to a promiscuous woman God led him to marry. Love is not self centered and it seeks to see how it can please the other person. How is your love meter?
PRAYER: Lord I know you love me even when I ignore you or treat you like a stranger. Help me father to always seek you and your kingdom first. I choose to not harbor bitterness for anyone who has hurt me and instead to show love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
