Love is a strange concept to figure out. How does a person live out the reality of unconditional love?
God is Love! Since we believe this statement to be true than it stands to reason that we MUST be connected to this Being of Love. Your expression of unconditional love will be in direct proportion to your relationship with the Lord. This is NOT just talk this is critical.
When we, as believers, put ourselves in the Love chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 we can see the power that love brings to the lives we live. The power of real love!
This is the Apostle Paul's description of love.
Use your own name in the blanks:
"________ is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. _______ does not demand... (his/her) own way. _______ is not irritable or touchy.
_______ does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do... (him/her) wrong. _______ is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out."
Now rewrite the rest of the passage, using your mate's name in the blanks:
"If you love _________ you will be loyal to him (or her) no matter what the cost. You will always believe in ________, always expect the best of ____________, and always stand your ground in defending ____________."
(1 Corinthians 13:4 - 7)
