Love Is

It is not difficult to show love and feel love when things are good.  What do you show when you have been offended or angered by the one that is supposed to love you?  Do you respond in kind? Do you bite your tongue and do a slow burn?  Do you truly love in the way God intended?  Unconditional love does not come naturally.  It is truly God’s love passing from you to another. (1 Corinthians 13:4-6) Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.
