Deliberately Love.

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 

As this world continues to progress, we are seeing more hate and less love. Its frustrating to witness.

If you think of the Bible as an instruction manual for your life, these scriptures give you incredible gudiance in a weary and worn world.

It's simple. Just love.

Don't envy or be jealous, don't brag, don't try to control everything, try not to get irritated, (but you will!), don't hold grudges and divide, tell the truth, don't wish bad on others.

Love God, life and others. Don't be hard on yourself when you stumble, because you will. Just get back up and love more.

Speaking from experience, I have done the opposite of all of these love commands. I have been untruthful and endured consequences. I don't believe in deliberately dividing by grudges and anger.

I have also watched deep meaningful love return to me.

Do not give up. Be patient and kind to everyone. It's not worth the HIGH cortisol!!!

Deliberately Love.
