Love

I heard a quote once that went something along the lines of, "So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard. We’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day…" and I believe that it came from the Notebook and oddly enough I remember it so well because this has been something that I am trying to work on every single day. If you want someone bad, which I have someone in mind, then it is something that you truly are going to have to work at. It is something that is not going to be perfect and you can't expect it to be. Something I often lean on as encouragement comes from the Bible. It is the passage of Corinthians 13:4 which says,"⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues,they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." This verse is so encouraging because it give you an idea of what Love is supposed to look like. It gives you an idea of how we are supposed to be living out love. Although it may seem unachievable, I want to remind you that everything is possible through Christ.
