An old love-test which will make you wince!

Step 1: Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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.”

Step 2: Now read it again, but substitute the word ‘love’ and ‘it’ with your name, and see what it feels like!

Step 3: When you find yourself wincing, think about how far short we fall from God’s standard of love in our lives! And how much we need forgiveness!!
