One of the most recognizable quotes from the bible is from 1st Corinthians. It summarizes what an act of pure love looks like.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
New Living Translation (NLT)
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.
What are you giving up on that you should be pressing through?
Are you taking offence to things that have nothing to do with you or if they do, can you take the high road and be the bigger person?
Showing love comes in many different forms. Do not be self serving but rather use the gift of love to be of encouragement and of good will to others.
It will change your life as much as it will change another.
