Love is a choice.
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not envy, love does not boast, love is not proud. Love is not rude, love is not self-seeking, love is not easily angered, love keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil. Love rejoices with the truth. Love always protects. Love always trusts. Love always hopes. Love always perseveres. Love never fails.
God is love.
If we choose God, it is then we can love.
It is then we are patient. It is then we are kind. It is then that we can celebrate the victories of others; then we are modest, then that we embrace humility. It is then, after we choose God that we desire what he desires; being respectful, showing selflessness, it is then that we experience true peace. Previous to choosing God, we may have had the opportunities to forgive, but without God it is all little more than a good idea. He is the bringer of all things good. After we turn towards our maker, and only then, are we fully capable of hating evil and embracing the great truth of the Lord. Because God is love. And love always protects, always trusts, and always gives hope. Love perseveres. God perseveres. God pursues.
God pursues and never fails.
Love never fails. God never fails.
