We might not want it to be that way, but without the love of God that is the only way we can love. Let s read 1 Corinthians 13 starting with verse 4 and reading through verse 8. I ll be reading from the Darby translation. Now in the King James translation the word used is Charity, which means love. Love is not of a nature of boasting and does not become egotistical in nature.
Love is always truthful and in all things is unfailing.
I m positive almost everyone of us, if not everyone of us, can say that sometime or another we have heard or even said something similar to what I m going to say right now. These are things that the world says. These are not a part of true love. Because true love, male to female puts no conditions upon the other, both are equal in love. Do you take into account, who hurt your feelings, who said something wrong to you, who did this to you, anytime you begin to think about something like that, you are not walking in love.
