It takes energy. It demands nothing less than our very best. St. Paul says, Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious, or boastful, or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn t strut, doesn t have a swelled head, Doesn t fly off the handle, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Never looks back. He concludes that in home or church, caring counts most, but we are simply unprepared to give what it takes to care enough. We all want the results, but we are unwilling to make the investment . He gives the best example I have found from his own kitchen when he describes his wife s Danish pastry-particularly strudel. He says whenever they serve it, someone will say, Gee, this is great.
