To love...

A little something, I've been learning in the past few months or so...

To love...

...is to be patient with a person when everything isn't perfect, and to allow room for imperfections and improvements.

...is to not bear grudges, or harbor resentment, anger, bitterness and disappointment in my heart towards another. It is to walk in the light of forgiveness and see him/her not for what he is like now...but what he will become in the future, as God works in his life.

...is to nag less, and pray more.

...is to first experience God's unfailing love, so that out of the overflow of my heart will come words that build up and not tear down. It is to be gracious and respectful in my speech so that I do not miscommunicate or wound the other person.

...is to believe all things, hope all things and endure all things.
