What is Love?

We have Pastor Thomas who came to preach to us two Sundays ago. He spoke about love. And use the text from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 which is:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, 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.

We all know this too well. However, reading just like that has no real impact because we are like the receiving end. But in reality, we must practice it ourselves first. So, replace [my name] with your name as you read it!

[my name] is patient, [my name] is kind. [my name] do not envy, [my name] do not boast, [my name] is not proud. [my name] is not rude, [my name] is not self-seeking, [my name] is not easily angered, [my name] keeps no record of wrongs. [my name] do not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [my name] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

How was it? Practice it always.

sounds more meaningful when we replaced it with our names.
