Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, 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.1 Corinthians 13v4-7
My favourite verses from my favourite chapter in the whole of the Bible.
Know for sure that these are not the soppy, sentimental feelings that some might think, but a window into the very heart of God's love.
I have sought to emulate, albeit very unsuccessfully, the qualities described ever since my teenage years in the good times and the not so good.
