Strive more and more to carry it into every little detail of daily life. Watch over your own tongue and temper throughout every hour of the day,�and especially in your dealing with children and near relatives. Remember the character of the excellent woman: �She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue� (Proverbs 31:26). Remember the words of Paul: �Do everything in love� (1 Corinthians 16:14). Love should be seen in little things as well as in great ones. Remember, not least, the words of Peter: �Love each other deeply�; not a love which just barely is a flame, but a burning, shining fire, which everyone around us can see. (1 Peter 4:8) It may cost pains and trouble to keep these things in mind. There may be little encouragement from the example of others. But persevere. Love like this brings its own reward. ~ J.C.

We call ourselves sons and daughters of God, God is love, it must shine through all we do to earn that name sons and daughters of God. Practice love, practice makes perfection. Post Reply

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 record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (NIV) Post Reply

And I thank the most precious Lord Jesus for giving me the ability and luxury to say that I can strive to be like Him and display that love to you and all others who deserve the same type that I, in turn freely received through His loving act.

It says love never fails, I guess its just people who do,but we are not to give up when we fail. Post Reply
