“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 wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7When I read this passage, it reminds me that love isn't just a "word." There's so much meaning behind it. We love our family and friends but sometimes our actions prove otherwise. I was so convicted today because my behavior was totally the opposite of what God says love is. But, I'm so thankful for the Lord, and how gracious He is, and how forgiving He is. Although we fall short (because that is our nature), He understands more than anyone else can.
I'm thankful for:
My husband who is totally devoted to us and our children.
That God is the center of our marriage.
My childrens unconditional love and their gentle spirits.
Gods unconditional love.
That there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
