what is love?
It's father's day! yay dads. haha But seriously, I am blessed with a great father :) Today has been pretty relaxing, got to see my parents a little before they left to go back home..which was nice. Didn't go to church again this morning, but I am going to watch a summit sermon online- and I'm stoked about that! ha I read some today and did the exercise in The Good and Beautiful God on 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. The verse is "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." The part that stuck out to me the most was--it keeps no record of wrongs. This hit me because lately a friend has come back into my life, who hasn't always been the best friend and didn't try to keep up with me at all. Now she suddenly wants to be friends again and I had a hard time with letting her come to my birthday party next weekend. I guess I just felt so hurt from her in the past and I'm afraid that we have both changed a lot. But this verse says that love keeps no record of wrongs...so who am I to let the past bother me? I think God is bringing her into my life again for a reason..and I want to show her true love. This verse is how our Christian community should love one another, and wouldn't it be beautiful if we could?
