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!
