1 corinthians 13: 4-8

Theme- love

(4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.)

In verse four, describes what agape love is, like a mother loves her child no matter what happens, what decisions that person make, they will always find love.

In verses five and six it show that love is nothing like eros love, which is loving someone or something only because it benefits you. Eros love is not true love it's fake, so only one person benefits and love will always benefits two. The one who truly loves and the one who loves all, Jesus Christ.

Verse seven tell us what true love is. It is truth it will go through everything but in the end it will still be love.

Verse eight says that "love never fails". When there is nothing else to lean on love will always stand strong.

I know that God loves me, because love never fails. Deuteronomy 6:5, "love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength." But his people are made in His image. So how can we love Him without loving His people? A simple and only answer is, "we can't".

What I want to do to help me with loving others, which helped me in the pass is to memorize this passage. So when I'm in a situation when it gets hard to love people, I will be able to think back to this passage know how to love and know what it is. And send my brother that I learned what true love is, and im sorry for not truly loving him.
