Love, love, love.
Love, Love, love
All you need is love… all you need is love
So sang the Beatles.
It sounds good as a lyric, but hard to live in real life. And what is love anyway? Is it the sex-driven eroticism we see on the every screen every day?
Paul certainly would say ‘no’. His timeless definition remains the pinnacle for love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails (4-8).
I sat and asked myself, is this how I LOVE my wife, family, church family, etc.???
As I considered each relationship, I laid this definition upon it. I have a long way to go to ‘love, love, love’ consistently.
Oh, Lord, love is supposed to be the hallmark of Your followers. I fall far short. Forgive me, teach me, show me and love me as I work on this. Amen.
