*********************

We all have people in our lives that are difficult at times. Maybe it’s someone you work with, a family member or even your spouse. Relationships can be complicated, but remember: love never fails. The Word of God clearly defines love in 1 Corinthians 13.

It says that love is patient and kind. It doesn’t seek its own way. Love doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. And most importantly, love never fails. Notice that this chapter doesn’t talk at all about how you feel. God’s love isn’t about feelings. It’s a choice. You can choose to be patient, even when you don’t feel like being patient. You can choose to be kind, even when you don’t feel like being kind. No matter what situation you find yourself in, you can choose love. You are never more like God than when you are walking in love. And when you are walking in love, you will never fail because love never fails. Open your heart to God’s love today. Ask Him to show you how to love others better. As you walk in love, you’ll find peace and live in victory all the days of your life!

yes that is really good message. we have to be patient with some one. but me i rather stay from people who will give me hard time.

hehe, yeah, me too. i have the tendency to stay away from people i don't like. but i know it is not a good thing. we can't stay away from them all the time. take care friend! God bless you!

well it is advisable to keep away from people you don't like so that you will have a good day .and you will not going to do some thing wrong or say some thing wrong. i think to keep our life in peace we have to stay from people who robbed us of our peace.

oh yeah, especially in church. i know it is hypocritical, i am worshipping the Lord and I have something against a brother or sister. but i can't help it, there are really people i can't stand. ugh!

Patience is good, but so is avoiding conflict with difficult people. Love is good, though, in general, I suppose.

That was nice, sigroid75. Thank you.

yeah i think so, too. there are just some people that i couldn't quiet take. they just get into my nerves. although the bible says to love them, i can't quiet bring myself into it. sigh...

I like how love is defined in 1 Corinthians... I totally agree with it. It is very inspiring..

Have you read this book by Leo Buscaglia entitled Living, Loving and Learning? It is a good book. I hope you read this book.

oh i haven't yet. really? is it available in PCBS or national bookstore? my husband and i frequent PCBS so i don't get a chance to see other titles other than those written by christian writers. take care! and thanks!
