“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 WRONG. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
Not rude - Lord , would you expose our tendencies to be rude and inconsiderate without regard for others.
Not self seeking - Lord, please show us quickly when our motives are selfish. May we see the weakness in making everything about us.
Not easily angered - Lord how quickly we can fly off the handle without any thought for how it might hurt others. We pray for self control and awareness to be calm and yield to your Spiirt.
No record of wrong - Lord, this one is hard when we've been hurt deeply by others and/or when we experience a repeat offender. Who are we though to hold on to a list when you've forgiven our sins and cast them as far as the East is to the West.
Oh Lord let your love change us and grow us. ❤️
