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.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. We begin to walk in love when we accept that we are not loving as God demands us according to his Word. We then consider that we must be perfected in love and take the decision to love, using our will, to obey the Word of God.
