Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love isn't envious; doesn't boast, brag or strut around.
There is no arrogance in love;
It's never rude, crude or indecent - it's not self-absorbed.
Love isn't easily upset.
Love doesn't tally wrongs or celebrate injustice,
But truth - yes, truth - is love's delight!
Love puts up with anything and everything that comes along.
It trusts, hopes and endures no matter what.
Love will never become obsolete.
Love is HARD.
Love is PAIN and SACRIFICE.
For one human being to love another human being; that is the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us. And in order for us to love well, we must understand that love is NOT for OUR benefit; it is not a self-serving action.
Love is a GIFT.
Love is a CHOICE.
Love is SERVICE.
And whether you realize it or not, the task of loving another begins by answering the question, "What does love require of me? How am I going to leverage my power, my assets and my time to benefit YOU?"
If you can do that, the difficulty of love is then expired and, consequently, experienced to its fullest potential.
Love is DELIBERATE.
