2007 - God is Love Reflection

1Corinthians 13

If God is love and we are to be more like God - we should be love - here is the challenge…say your name in front of each line in the 13th chapter of 1Corinthians.

I am patient.

I am kind.I am not envious, or boastful, or arrogant, or rude.

I do not insist on my own way.

I am not irritable or resentful.

I do not rejoice in wrong doing but rejoices in the truth.

I bear all things, believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things.

How can I be all of that each day - how can I be love? How can I be patient, kind and never resentful or jealous? It’s a difficult challenge and it’s only three verses from the bible!

What can I do today to love like God? What relationships do I need to give more attention to? What relationships have agents of jealousy? To whom am I boastful? How can I be more patient or kind?
