What Love is Like

I've really no time to blog or even to email today. A pile of exams is calling my name. Hopefully, I'll be finished within the next couple of days. But I'm taking time because I've had something to meditate upon the last slightly bumpy week.

How should I love? Meditating on this passage and these thoughts has really helped me to see my obvious need to change. My soul has been humbled and refreshed. My focus will, I hope, become clearer as I think on these things. (and on the exams, of course)

Love is patient,
love is kind, and is not jealous;
love does not brag and is not arrogant,
does not act unbecomingly;
it does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
