"4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails." I had a difficult time choosing a verse for this entry, but I finally decided on this one. There is just something about this passage that always makes me smile, always inspires me, and always makes me feel so safe in this world. Love is such a beautiful thing, and I can only attempt to love the people I care about the way God loves me. I know I am only human and have flaws in my love, but I try very hard to love wholly and purely. There have been a few difficult times in my life where I have forgotten how lucky I am to be loved by God, and to be loved by my family and friends, and this verse has helped me get through times like that. This verse also helps me when I get angry or upset over a situation, and it re-focuses me on what it important. God says we have to love our enemies, and this verse tells us HOW to do that. This passage can help others in their life and relationships. If you love say you love someone, love them like the verse says. Do not get caught up in the horrors of the world and let it tear your relationship apart. This passage can help marriages, friendships, family bonds, and even when dealing with people who may be considered “enemies.”
