We have a chance to love those around us each day, but today especially the expectation is high. (Do you feel it?)
Sometimes we just need to reflect on words of Truth…
Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not envy or boast.
Love is not proud, rude, or self-seekingIt is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil
Love rejoices with the truth
Love always protects
Love always trusts
Love always hopes
Love always perseveres
Love never fails
I Corinthians 13:4-8 “the Love chapter”
I remember an activity we did in a junior high Sunday School class long ago. We had to read these verses to ourselves but replace “Love” with our own name:
“Dianna is patient…
Dianna is kind…”
THAT puts a whole new spin on this passage and reminds me of how much I’ve fallen short of loving others authentically. so.many.times. I’m grateful for God’s grace and mercy to keep trying to love as He would like us to.
However your Valentine’s day unfolds, may you experience His love, the ultimate valentine. ❤️
