Love is kind - Kindness requires some sacrifice on my part, an effort to do something for someone else. Whenever I brag or boast, I am lifting myself up, drawing attention to myself. Love is not proud - Pride is thinking well of myself or focusing on myself, hardly an act of love. Love is not easily angered - When I am caring about someone else and their best interest is uppermost in my heart, their actions will be less likely to anger me. This depends on what we are talking about.
Love leaves no room for evil thoughts.
If I delight in something evil happening to someone else, I surely am not in the process of loving. Truth is so freeing. Love always hopes - Wishing the best for someone else. 8 Love never fails - As we walk with the Lord in obedience to His commandment to Love, the love He gives us for others will not fail. He gave me the most incredible ability to Love.
