A Godly Kind of Love

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Cor. 13:13

“Be rooted and established in love. Love (true, Godly love) surpasses knowledge and brings all the fullness of God.”
Eph. 3: 17-19


Love is patient.....love is not in a hurry
Love is kind......it is gentle and compassionate
It does not envy......it is not jealous of other's blessings
It does not boast......it does not seek to “promote” itself
It is not proud....love does not see itself as better than others
It is not rude.....it has only good to say
It is not self-seeking......it sees others as most important, it puts their needs first
It is not easily angered.....love holds it's tongue to keep peace
It keeps no record of wrongs......it walks in forgiveness
Love does not delight in evil....it does not want to see bad for others
But rejoices with truth.....love finds joy in having good win
It always protects...it acts as a shield for others
Always trusts.....it believes the best, even when others don't
Always hopes.....it always wants the very best for others, it gives confidence
Always perseveres......love remains when all else is gone.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
