Love Love Love ♥♥♥♥

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, 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 never fails...

I love this passage cause it is such a great challenge of a life time. If we think about it, the two greatest commandments are about love; Love your God with all your heart, your soul and your mind & Love your neighbor as yourself.

To truly, sincerely and faithfully love someone like God asks us to is definitely not a piece of cake! It requires much thought, time, energy, selflessness, dedication, work, practice in actions or words, and many more....

God gave us the perfect example of unconditional love when He send His one and only son to die on the cross for OUR sins. WOW.

Try to imagine taking the death penalty of a murderer, a thief, a rapist, a liar, a cheater...? Would you? Then try to imagine that your not dying for them as they say: "Thank you for taking my place! You're my hero...! I love you, your my savior..." But rather, they beat you up, spit in your face, say horrible things about you and laugh to your face while you're suffering physically, emotionally and spiritually...! How do you respond to this situation? How do you feel ?

How can we truly measure love, God's love ? We can only start to imagine but I don't think we can sincerely grasp the depths of God's amazing love and grace towards us, sinners.

This is why the Bible give us ways or ideas about how to love someone.. By being patient, being kind, to always hope, trust and persevere. By not being rude, self seeking or easily angered... and the list goes on!

Am I trying to genuinely love someone? If yes, am I trying the right way? I cannot really love someone if I have not experience love myself. Have you experience God's love in your life?

Let's try to love the right way ♥♥♥
