In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 in the Passion Translation we read:
4 Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. 5 Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.6 Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.7 Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.
God loved us so much that He gave His son. Jesus loved us so much that He gave His life. There are many scriptures that speak of love and how it acts. We don’t just love when things are going great. In these turbulent times it is so important to walk in love. God has given the power to do just that through the Holy Ghost.
Romans 5:5 says, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.“
How can you demonstrate love to those around you today?
