More Than A Feeling

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

When you think of the word “love” what are some things that immediately come to mind that you could change in the way you love? If the bible tells us in a very specific way, like this verse clearly does, why do we constantly try to cheat ourselves and the people close to us out of this kind of  love?

I’d say a major part of that is the day and age we live in where most of have created some bad habits that ultimately leaves us short-changing the ones we should be showing the kind of love that 1 Corinthians is talking about.  Are you someone who always feels overbooked so much that you don’t even have time to sit down, and your loved ones are only receiving the love that you offer when it’s on the go.

I encourage you to take a look at how you show your love to your family and think about how you can be more effective and glorify God by “loving others” the way Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 4.
