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!"
Fourth, love does not promote itself; it is not puffed up. Paul says in Phil 2:3 "In humility consider others as more important than yourselves."
As a mom, I can love this way with my children very easily. When it comes to loving others this way, especially if they have hurt me, its not so easy.
God love challenge #4....
Pray that God can instill in you the desire to consider others as more than yourself. I pray this every day. It isn't an easy task because of my human nature to be selfish, but it is necessary in order to live the love that God wants me to live.
