Love #2.....

More Agape, Godly love....

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. it is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!"

Second, love is kind.
When translated kind means gracious, virtuous, useful, manageable, mild, pleasant, benevolent. Not bitter , harsh, hard or sharp.
Wow, how often have we been only gracious instead of bitter? Mild instead of harsh? I know personally, I haven't been on the good side of this with others that hurt me very often. I may not show it, or say it, but its in my heart....and that's what God sees.

Be gracious, mild, and pleasant with everyone you encounter. No matter what your feelings are toward them. God commands us to love (John 13:34). The more we trust God to help us show the right characteristics of His love, the easier it will become for us to do it. God never said living for Him would be easy, its necessary.
