Do You Have Love?

remember the famous paragraph on love?
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 the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
remember this? the famous paragraph all christians should know?
now, let us test ourselves and see how much godly love we have.
replace all love and its mention of it to I.
now we have this:
i am patient, i am kind. i do not envy, i do not boast, i am not proud. i am not rude, i am not self-seeking, i am not easily angered, i keep no record of wrongs. i do not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. i always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere.
if you can with your conscience read the above without feeling uncomfortable, i applaud you. if you cannot, then where do you start feeling unconfortable? the part where you felt uncomfortable should be the part you need to work on.
nobody is perfect, we need to grow, and i think the above method can tell us where we need to grow. face your weakness, and grow in godly love.
so that one day, you can say the above, without feeling uncomfortable.
