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. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

How could we ever live up to these standards? It is impossible. It was not easy for Jesus either. He did not feel like going to the cross. But He made a conscious decision to do so because He loves us that much. Godly love is simply saying, “Lord, You know I am not this way. I am not always thinking the best of every person. I am not always well mannered. I am not always kind. I am not always longsuffering. But, Lord, I acknowledge my weakness and I want to change.”

Romans 5:5 says,

“The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.”

Therefore, He will help us live a life of love.
