"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 truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always preservers."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
I was reading in my study this week that, the word patient,
can actually translate to mean a great suffering, or enduring suffering.
That is exactly what being patient is for me most of the time; suffering.
Might I remember that the next time I have to,
wait for someone I love, love is patient
travel behind a slow driver, love is patient,
wait for a treadmill to open love is patient,
listen to teens argue, love is patient,
submit to my husbands leading, love is patient.
Being patient is showing love, and the suffering I am enduring is
making me look more like Christ himself. Simply said,
"True Love is a servant, who thinks of others and their needs before their own."
Blessings, Connie
