Love Is

Inspired by 1 Corinthians 13

Love is patient and kind

     It grows slow and generously

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude, it does not demand its own way

     As it grows, it never forces or pushes things out of the way.

It grows around and through and makes the things in the way more beautiful.

Love is not irritable and keeps no record of being wrong.

     It grows consistently day in and day out.

     It grows whether or not it is cared for by man because the rain comes and it blossoms under its watering.

It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 

     It thrives under the light and grows to become unmovable. 

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance

     Because love never stops growing and never dies under the care of the Most High
