31 Day of Love Challenge : day 1: October 1st


Today's Challenge:

Read 1 Corinthians 13 (the love chapter) and jot down some of the thoughts that come to mind such as:
  • What is God's definition of love? Selfless. Sacrificial. Constant. Humble.
  • What are the characteristics of love? Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
  • In what areas of "loving" do I stumble the most? When it comes to patience. When I become inpatient, I become unkind. 
  • What are a few of the steps I can take toward change? I need to stop, I need to think and remember this verse. I need to yield myself to the Holy Spirit and pray. I also think I need to listen. Sometimes I am so inpatient that I don't take the time to hear the whole story before losing my temper.
