God-breathed Love Is… - Part 1

 

“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.”

—1 Corinthians 13:4-5

In yesterday’s blog post, I shared how God graciously imbues us with His love, so that we can touch the lives of those with whom we have interpersonal relationships in the most positive way possible.

His love has some very definitive characteristics. The Apostle Paul details them, as recorded in 1 Corinthians 13:4-5:

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.

Most Christians would agree that these characteristics of love are highly desirable. And, most would agree that we cannot guarantee a consistent delivery of these characteristics on our own. That’s why we need God to breathe His love into us.

As we face a new day, let’s gratefully allow God to use us as vehicles of His love. Then, we will participate in one of the most important transactions that can occur this side of heaven.
