Today's Word

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

“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 account of wrongs.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (Berean Standard Bible)

Reflection

Love is explained not with adjectives but with verbs. It is patient, it is kind, it does not envy. It shows that love is not a feeling but an action — a love possible even on days the feeling has cooled.

Half of what is listed is the negative form: "does not." Love is not only adding something, but also subtracting boasting and pride. Love enters the place you empty.

If there is a relationship where love feels dry, rather than waiting for a great emotion, bear one thing today. Love grows not from an overwhelming heart but from small choices.
