True Love: Love is Kind

1st Corinthians 13:4-7  "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth; bears all things, trusts all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

2.  LOVE IS KIND - A situation may arise when we need to be KIND - considerate, friendly, warm-hearted nature, showing sympathy or understanding; charitable, agreeable; beneficial.  All these are the characteristics of being kind.  Whatever situation, even if you feel like you have the best advice for someone -demonstrate it in a kind way.  In a way that you know that will be beneficial for THAT person.  Not just to prove that you know better than they do.  Also in daily life - be kind to all.  Have kindness  inbred within your actions.  Let all your actions and words express kindness. That is the KINDNESS in TRUE LOVE.

NEXT: Love does not envy

PS - Hannah's bedroom is now completely painted. Waiting on the furniture to arrive. Maranda is doing well. Our specialist suggests that as long as she stay's stable - all is well!! Praise the Lord. Our doctor said "Hannah is beating the odds". That's not a surprise. God has His hand on her life. Thank you for your continual prayer - it is sincerely appreciated.
