“Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.” 1 Corinthians 13:4
I am laughing now at this last seen of one of my favorite movies. The ladies are patient and the gentlemen always admit their foolishness. I am thinking of the amazing way that Love trumps all things. It takes over every thought, almost making one a puppet to ones own desires.
It is funny and wonderful at the same time, because if you ever have the case to fall in love, then you might know Christ’s love. The first time I fell in love, when I equated it with Christ’s love for us, wow! is all I can say.
So this consuming crazy feeling and thing with a mind of its own is only a small portion of the power of emotion Christ has for us. Love is amazing too, because it cannot be turned off during hard times or even when you try. Because God is Love, He can never turn off His love.
Try to fall in love at least once, first it helps one to die to self, and second, one may be able to understand in a very small way the Love that God has for his people. And whether you are watching Elizabeth Gaskell’s romances or Resident Evil:Extinction(my other favorite currently!) then you may see a trend for love no matter the circumstances.
Have a wonderful Advent.
