1 Corinthians 13:4-6




My mantra for the last few days has been 'Your will, not mine, Lord.'

Patient and kind are the two aspects of love that are mentioned first in this passage, and for me that is especially apropos. Patience in love, both in wanting to express it and in wanting to receive it. Kindness in a general sense I do well with, but in the moment I certainly could use more work.
Envy of love that others is something that I have also struggled with. As happy as I am for others when they have or are in love, I still have that little bit of resentment that it isn't me.


I guess that's why I'm a work in progress.

Right on target Waldo. Just the day before you posted this, God was working on me and my attitude toward couples--not being jealous of where they are but just being content with where God has me right now.

Notice the stark contrast in the level of depth of both Jason and my comments. . . I think I know what I need to work on.
