'' Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. '' 1 Corinthians 13:4 The love of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the believer produces different functions . If you have the love of God in you it will show in diverse functions as 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 declares ;
'' Love is patient ''
A person in love is always patient and ready to wait until the thing or person they love comes to pass in their life. In the same way if you love God you will wait patiently until his promise comes to pass in your life .
'' Love is kind ''
A person in love is full of kindness for their loved ones .This means they give gifts and services in kind . Anyone who loves God will automatically give tithes and offerings to God all the time and this they do cheerfully out of love for God .
'' Love is not envious ''
A person in love cannot envy their loved ones even though they are making progress ahead of him in life . Instead they tend to celebrate with them and also congratulates them . On the contrary envy is the character our enemies who do not want us to prosper . If you love God you will not envy the brethren in church who are prospering ahead of you , rather you will thank God for their life .
'' Love is not arrogant ''
A person in love is always humble in the presence of their loved ones .They cannot exhibit any form of pride in their presence .If you love God , you will be always humble in the house of God and in the midst of brother's and sisters in church . If you have the love of God in your heart , you will not show your arrogance at all.
'' Love is not selfish ''
A person in love cannot be selfish in relationship ,They want to share their life , money , house, and even their possessions with their loved ones . They spend and eat with their loved ones , that person will not only insist on his own way or opinion , but will seek the opinion of the lover . In the same way if you love God you will not show any form of selfishness in your service for God in the church or among the people of God .
'' Love is not easily provoked ''
A person in love cannot just get angry too easily at the slightest offence . In the same vain if you love God , you will not be easily provoked at any offensive act against you for the sake of God's kingdom .It doesn't matter the gravity of the offense , be it from your pastor ,anybody at all in the house of God or outside the church .
PRAYER
Lord help me to love you more , love people and also function in your love daily in the name of Yeshua .
