True Love

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
- 1 Corinthians 13



The real meaning of love can be found in the verse of 1 Corinthians 13. Real love is described as patient. Why? Because natural human beings do not like to wait. It takes real love to be able to wait for something because it is indeed very hard to wait for anything especially in a world where everything comes fast because time is costly. Love is kind, because it's so much easier to be rude when you lose your tempter. These are just natural human ways that needs to be trained by love. Love is not jealous, no matter what success your friends achieve, it will not make you feel insecure or diminish you because you have love, and that love always seeks out the best interest in others.

If love is not proud, then what should it be? It is humble. When we have love, GOD's love, we understand that we are nothing on our own and all things have come from GOD to us. When there is love in our hearts, we will never demand what we want or demand our rights whatever it is. We give in to others, we let others go first. Love will not be easily angered, and it ceases to remember whatever wrong others have done to us when we truly have love. Love always seeks out for what is right, because love is who GOD is, the very being of GOD is love itself. Most of all, Love always perseveres, it will not stop loving, not stop believing for anything good for anyone, love will always hope and always have faith.
