A Look At Love
1 Cor 13:4-8a NIV
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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. Love never fails.
I've been trying to think of a subject around which I could write a series. I've had several ideas, most of which I will need some time to develop them into anything coherent and practical. The one topic that has stood out among the rest, is love. Love is, or, at least should be, at the heart, or foundation, of our relationships. True love doesn't exclude God, because we read in 1 John 4:7, that God is love and everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. If we want to capture the heart of the marriage relationship, the family relationship and our relationship with God, we have but to examine love - true love.
With that in mind, over the next few weeks, we're going to be examining the verses in 1 Corinthians 13, one attribute of love at a time.
I believe we'll learn much together.
For Marriages & Families,
Dave
