“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”
1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV)
Glory be to God for the gift of a new day filled with His grace and mercy.
Today’s scripture beautifully reminds us of what true love looks like, not just a feeling, but a lifestyle that reflects the very nature of God.
Love is patient , it bears with others’ weaknesses and gives room for growth. Love is kind , it extends grace, compassion, and forgiveness even when it is not returned. True love does not envy others’ blessings or boast about its own; instead, it celebrates others with humility and sincerity.
In a world where selfishness and pride often overshadow genuine affection, God calls us to live out agape ,His divine, unconditional love. This kind of love goes beyond emotions; it is a daily decision to walk in humility, patience, and kindness toward all people.
Let this verse challenge you today: Are your words, thoughts, and actions guided by love? When we choose to love as Christ loves, we reflect His heart to the world around us.
Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me what true love means through Your Son Jesus Christ. Help me to walk in patience and kindness, free from envy and pride. Let my love for others reflect Your character and bring glory to Your name. Fill my heart with Your unconditional love so I may share it wherever I go in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
