What real love is...

As I was asking the Lord what I should write for today's post, (I'm usually posting Marriage articles on Mondays) He reminded me of this famous piece of Scripture. We might have heard about it thousand times, yet we easily forget what REAL LOVE IS.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13

New International Version (NIV)

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - (ALWAYS)

Love never fails. 
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Let us reflect on this passage today and analyse our marriages through the light of it. No, let us not analyse our husbands but us. Are we loving with REAL LOVE? are we really loving THIS way? which areas can we improve today?  :)

Remain blessed!
