Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, ..." 1 Corinthians 13:4 (NASB)
When tested? When someone hurts you or says ugly things? When someone won’t forgive you? When a person has gossiped behind your back? When a person betrays you?
These things are all possible scenarios for testing how your love meter is functioning. If you walk by the Spirit you are not to be led by the flesh it says in Galatians 5:16. The flesh is mean and thinks only of itself. Is that you? Hopefully not.
Read the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 about love. It is referring to love in general not romantic love. God’s greatest commandment affectionately known as the 11th commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Take some time alone talking to God. Do you need to be set free perhaps from a stronghold of hate that is keeping you from fully loving people? Anyway something to ponder.
PRAYER: Lord I need you every hour. I pray for anyone who has a crushed or wounded spirit. I pray you will set captive people free from strongholds in their life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
