PROMISE #312 - NOVEMBER 8
Promise #312:
My love is patient and kind, and does not keep track of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (WEB)
4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy.
Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately,
doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
Since the Bible says in 1 John 4:16 that 'God is love,’ I think it is safe to say that we could exchange the word 'love' in 1 Corinthians for the word 'God' if we wanted to. Consider reading this passage of Scripture as a description of the character and nature of God Himself.
God is patient and kind and doesn't envy, boast, or be proud. He isn't rude or selfish, and he doesn't get angry quickly. He also doesn't keep track of when He has been wronged.
God's love for us will completely overwhelm us if we let it. None of us has experienced this unconditional love in human relationships. The best horizontal love is but a shadow of God's ocean of love for each of us. May the Holy Spirit help us continue to explore His amazing love, setting sail on the vast ocean of His kindness where He keeps no records of the times we hurt Him.
Father, take us deeper into the depths of your love today! We open our hearts up to your unconditional, eternal love, and we ask that we know the vastness of your immeasurable love for us more today than ever before!
