Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NLT
It is the greatest gift of the Spirit, but it is twisted and turned to cause guilt and bring manipulative control. It is used against us, until we grow to fear love and turn our hearts to no longer feel or accept it. What is so wrong with trying to be more like love?
