How do I go about practicing Love? [Day 3]
The Bible defines and let's us know in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7: “Love is patient, love is 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."
Love should be practiced according to the Corinthians' terms. Anyone who is lucky enough to be loved and love others should not take such a precious aspect for granted. In any relationship, Be patient and remain calm. Everyone has their own pace and way of doing things.
Being kind to someone can go a long way to help them through a rough day or just simply make them feel good about themselves. Be grateful for what God has blessed you with. Do not compare your blessings to others. Everything happens for a reason and everyone has their own path.
Bragging can hurt the feelings of others and hurting people is not part of love. There is no reason to be proud because love does not want to hurt the feelings of others who are struggling or are going through a rough time because of heartache.
Remain honorable and true to yourself. Love is about others, not yourself. When you love someone you shouldn't look to improve yourself, instead you should focus on the other person. Since love requires patience, you must entrust your your feelings in another and know that anything that happens is not intentional. God forgives you for your sins everyday, therefore you should do the same with the ones that you love.
