I’ve shared this before over on my personal blog, but I saw so many of these great, personal versions of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 this week shared in the #LoveLikeHim stream on Twitter, I thought I would share mine again.

IF I AM FULL OF LOVE…

I will persevere the offenses of others.

I will show kindness to those who have offended me.

I will not boil with envy.

I will not put myself on display.

I will not put my desires above the needs of others.

I will not demand my own way.

I will not be irritable towards those that I love.

I will not resent those that I love.

I will not enjoy sin, but take joy in what is right.

I will be a protective covering over those around me, as we weather together the storms that come our way.

I will choose to believe the best of those I love.

I will keep a confident expectation for good things to come

I will remain and not run away, even when the unthinkable happens.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 — as how I want this passage to be made true in my life

 

I would LOVE for  you to share yours as well! Just leave a link to your post, or copy out your “re-write” of these verses in the comments.



What is God teaching you about LOVE through your studies?

    I love this list, Katie. I’ll add: I will love intentionally and focused with patience to see opportunities in the “distractions.”

    These lines you wrote are amazing: “I will keep a confident expectation for good things to come

    I will remain and not run away, even when the unthinkable happens.” Yes, yes!

    […] she could give. Setting aside her own needs, she ministered to our fatigue. 1 Corinthians shows how love is patient and how it looks when I am full of love.  Love is in its glory when a person of honor bends low to […]
