1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant.
5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered,
6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
John 15:12 "12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you."
Luke 6:31
"31 Treat people the same way you want them to treat you."
1 Corinthians 16:14
"14 All that you do must be done in love."
Proverbs 17:17
"17 A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity."
Those who love you do not gossip against you, they do not believe gossip about you when they hear it, they rejoice in your accomplishments and weep at your failures. They are deeply connected to the Spirit in us desiring God's best for us.
Those who love us never wish harm to us or create chaos and troubles to dominate us.
When we know the love of God and have it in our own hearts we know what Christ's love looks like, however, those who do not know Christ do not understand His love and operate according to their pride and self-will. These people have no love, even their good deeds are manipulation to gratify self.
Let's be those who love God's Way no matter what the evil world is doing. Let's not allow the devl's pokes or our emotions to control our reactions or responses. Let's allow the Holy Spirit to be our voice.
