Love. It's the major theme of song writers and poets. We have a special day devoted to it. We send cards and buy gifts on that day. Sermons extol it.
Paul wrote about it and what he wrote is often the centerpiece of many a wedding. But is it all so many words?
Here's a convicting exercise: read I Corinthians 13, the text where Paul tells us what love is and what love is not, and as you read it, take out the word "love" and put your name in its place:
4 _______ is patient, _____ is kind and _______ is not jealous; _______ does not brag and _______ is not arrogant, 5 ________does not act unbecomingly; _______ does not seek its own, _____ is not provoked, ________does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 ________does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but ________rejoices with the truth, _______bears all things, _______believes all things, ______hopes all things, ________endures al things.
Enough said.
Very good! Thx
