I was struck in my reading today about how many instructions 1 Corintithians 13 gives on love. I mean, I know it's called the Love Chapter, but have you ever counted? Just in verses 4-8, I got this list:A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved
you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another.
Love:
- Does not brag
- Is not arrogant
- Does not act unbecomingly
- Does not seek its own
- Is not provoked
- Does not take into account a wrong suffered
- Does not rejoice in unrighteousness
- Rejoices with the truth
- Bears all things
- Believes all things
- Hopes all things
- Endures all things
- Never fails
I say that I love my husband. I say that I love my family and friends. But, am I loving them the way God would have me to love them?
