OCTOBER DEVOTION
DAY 5
LOVE AND KINDNESS
1st Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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 acts, it doesn't just feel.
Patience is love waiting. Kindness is love doing something good. Without kindness,love is just words.
Love is humble.
It doesn't envy what others have, doesn't brag about what it has, and doesn't think it's better. Kindness celebrates others instead of competing.
Love is gentle in daily life.
It respects people, doesn't look for its own gain, doesn't get angry quickly, and doesn't keep a list of past wrongs to use later. True kindness forgives and lets go.
Love loves what is right.
It doesn't enjoy gossip or seeing others fail. It is happy when truth wins.
