Fruit of the Spirit: Love

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him" (1 John 4:16). Through Jesus Christ, our greatest goal is to do all things in love. "Love is patient, love is kind. 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" (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

It's Evening, Jesus

Examine my heart, three personed God.

Have I lived in love today?

Lord, have I been patient?

Lord, have I been rude?

When others we speaking did I become self-seeking

and speak of myself?

Did I drag up old hurts and pains today?

Help me in the Spirit.

Amen
