Our society is quite infatuated with the idea of love. Unfortunately, the love that many seek is anything but real, godly love. Satan has disillusioned the world with a twisted definition of love, but thankfully, God has provided us with an accurate portrayal of this most wondrous attribute.
First Corinthians 13:4-8 provides the inspired definition of real love. These verses show us what love is and what love is not. The first thing we read is “Love is patient and kind.” If we seek godly love, we will be patient and kind to others. We will not be easily upset and offended but instead will give others the benefit of the doubt. Too often we bristle and get angry at the slightest misstep by others. That is not the way of love. As you go through your day, remember to be patient. Be gracious with others, and work to find the best in each situation. Approach difficulty with mildness and choose to respond with kindness to all.
