Today my prayer has been to ask God what love looks like...
here is what showed up in my devotion for the day
Read 1 Corinthians 13 and when you read vs 4-7 put your name in the place of Love
from vs 3 on...
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do I am bankrupt without love.
vs 4
Katherine never gives up
Katherine cares more for others than for self.
Katherine doesn't want what she doesn't have.
Katherine doesn't strut.
Katherine doesn't have a swelled head, she doesn't force herself on others, isn't always "me first"katherine doesn't fly off the handle, Katherine doesn't keep score of the sins of others, and she doesn't revel when others grovel. Katherine takes pleasure in the flowering of the truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back but keeps going to the end.
Wow I said God, really?
I humbly acknowledged I would recognize that kind of love anywhere. Thank you God for your expedient answer to what love looks like, now what will I do with the answer.
