Love is patient

Love does not delight in evil
Love rejoices in the truth
Love always hopes
Love always perseveres
Love never fails
The scripture says that God is love
It also says Jesus is the Son of God
replace the word love with the name Jesus
Jesus is patient...
...Jesus never fails
We are to become like Jesus
Now substitute your name...
Now think of someone you have difficulty loving
put their name in there...
As you speak these words over both yourself
and anyone you are not totally walking in love with
realize this
Faith comes by hearing
Grace comes by Faith
Grace changes people
As you strengthen the love bond
faith and grace become active
Faith works by love
That is why love never fails
Love is the Royal Law
Love is the Great Commandment
Love is the most excellent way
