Has someone ever said, “I love you” but their actions didn’t match their words? Me too. And sometimes, I’m the one who doesn’t love well. To say “I love you” is weighty. To live out “love” is life-changing, whether you are giving it or receiving it.
“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…”
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Take a second to pause between every thought in that verse. And add your name.
Sandi is patient. Sandi is kind, etc.
How does it hit you? It reminds me of the perfect love of God. And it points to the places that I need to grow.
If you’re feeling unlovable, may the patient, kind love of God be real to you today. And if you’ve experienced God’s love, who needs to be loved by you and Jesus today? -Sandi
