THE LOOK OF LOVE, pt 1

Love is a verb; it is an action. Over the next few posts, I want to flesh out this idea: love in human form. What does love look like? What do you see when you see love?


Does it look like patience?

"Love is patient..." (1 Cor. 13:4)  Love allows you to wait for the right moment, the right opportunity, the right person. Love helps you endure hardship and put up with stupidity.

Love is patient - "quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry." (James 1:19) Love knows the value of a listening ear. Love knows how to hold its tongue. Love knows how to keep from blowing its lid.

So, I'd say love looks a lot like patience.

What do you need to do to look more like love?

Peace, Love, and Dark Chocolate
