"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 records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
As I reflected on how I have been doing on my "love-progression", I reread this familiar passage this afternoon. I was surprised that I completely failed... Unsatisfactory in 12 of the 14 characteristics of love. Sigh... I need Jesus, but there are days where it's so comfortable to hold onto your "self" and not let Him take a hold of you completely.
