Devotional: Love
Love is Patient, Love is Kind
When we think about love, we often think about romantic relationships. However, the Bible teaches us that love goes far beyond just romance. Love is patient and 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. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
