I have been thinking about love alot this week (I think Valentine's Day does that for you). The Bible says that God is love. If this is true, another way of reading 1 Corinthians 13 could be:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 [God] is patient, [God] is kind. [He] does not envy, [he] does not boast, [he] is not proud. 5 [God] does not dishonor others, [he] is not self-seeking, [he] is not easily angered, [he] keeps no record of wrongs. 6 [God] does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 [He] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 [God] never fails.
So if you want to know some attributes of God, take a look at the attributes of love. :)
That's so funny! I was just thinking about this the other day for my devotion time!
ReplyDeleteThere's no way that we even come close to being all of those things listed, but God embodies them all to their fullest potential.
Where we fall short, God holds strong.
