Scripture gives me many verses about love. The first that comes to mind is “God is love.” The next comes from 1st Corinthians 13, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice of wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Then there is the one I found in Isaiah 49 which says, “Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”
So when I think about God and love, I know that I have:
...a God of love- a God of kindness-a God of truth-a God of patience-a God of compassion-a God of grace-a God of understanding-and a God who has me engraved upon the palms of His hands...
These are all examples of love in which I should strive for, as well.
P.S. One other thing I know about God's love is that He loves me enough to say, "No!" He loves me enough to close a door. And, I should continue to love Him, regardless, for He has a better plan than what was behind that closed door. Amen!
