Love Transforms
Love & Compassion
Scripture
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
“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.”
Devotion
This description of love is not an ideal we admire from a distance but a practice we engage in. Love is patient—practice waiting, not rushing judgment. Love is kind—practice gentleness. Love keeps no record of wrongs—practice forgiveness. As you practice these expressions of love, you are transformed. You become more like God. Love is both a gift you receive and a practice you cultivate. Every day offers opportunity to love more fully, more maturely, more beautifully.
