1 Corinthians 13:4-8
'Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It
is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust,to hope, and to endure whatever comes...'
4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends;
Pride, self respect, dignity, arrogance, fairness - none of these have any place in love. Love rises above all of these, love overcomes all of these, love is undying. Take a moment to read the quote above.. let it sink in for a moment.. Let it weigh against your fears, your anger, your frustrations, and your desires. And as you reflect on your marriage, your current relation with your spouse, the current angst or wrong you feel... Remember that we are all called to love - even when others don't love us.
