Falling Deeper in Love With Godنموونە

IT'S SUPERNATURAL

One of my favorite “love” scriptures is 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 in the Amplified Bible. There is so much to be found in this section of scripture. I truly believe that understanding God’s love for us and then walking in that love with others is a huge key to success in life.

So let’s read it. This is supernatural love. This is how God loves you:

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].

In a nutshell, God’s love for you is enduring—He is patient with you (not irritated) and He is kind to you. He’s never envious or boastful or haughty in His attitude toward you.

God is not prideful or rude and He’s not out for His own good—He’s out for yours. He’s not touchy and He’s not keeping track of your mistakes. He doesn’t rejoice when things go badly for you—He rejoices when right and truth prevail in your life!

His love for you bears up under anything and everything that comes in your relationship—He always believes the best of you. He has high hopes for you in every circumstance and His love for you carries through every time without weakening. He will never stop loving you—ever.

If you’ve ever struggled with the notion that God loves you, read this often. It will help you to meditate on these truths and take hold of them for your own life so it gets down in your heart. You are truly loved.
