Love is a powerful and winsome force. For example, joy can be thought of as love exalted; peace as love in repose; patience as love enduring; gentleness as love being tender; goodness as love showing kindness; faithfulness as love overcoming; meekness as love in submission; and self-control as love under discipline.
The nature of Christian love is amplified by New Testament scholar James Moffat who rendered 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 like this:
"Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself no airs, is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful: love is never glad when others go wrong, love is gladdened by goodness, always eager to believe the best, always hopeful, always patient."
Ok, bloggers...and lovers...wish you great days ahead and always remember this
Love doesn't force itself on others, isn't always "me first," doesn't fly off the handle, doesn't keep score of the sins of others. At a time when rudeness is on the rise, we need to begin an epidemic of love.
Yours Truly,
Ophelia
