" Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
We hear them at church, in our devotional time and sometimes at wedding ceremonies and sometimes at memorial services.
We are told God is love in 1 John 4:8
8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Love makes harmony. It is the oil that keeps everything working and functioning properly for without it everything would freeze up and go dry. Harmony can only be accomplished in ourselves and with each other when we submit to the Spirit of God.
Love does not demand its own way or stubbornly stand in how we think it should be or point fingers but is yielded to God's will who knows what is best.
If we believe this is true then we will allow God's work to be done according to how he has determined it. And this should give us peace in all occasions and circumstances to live encouraged in God's unfailing love. He is our strength and confidence.
