That's how God loves and that how we are instructed to love. 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, and always perseveres.
Love never fails.
The opposite of love is criticism. To contemplate this we can also learn much about humility. To love is to attract. We are attracted to love and we can feel the love of others around us. To criticize is to repel.
