1) Love is patient

- Makrothumein (in the Greek word) means patience with people and not patience with circumstances.

2) Love is kind

- Origin had it that this means that love is "sweet to all."

3) Love knows no envy

- There are two kinds of envy:
(a) The one covets the possessions of other people.
(b) The other is worse. He grudges the very fact that others should have what he has not; he doesn’t so much want things for himself as he wishes that others had not got them at all.

4) Love is not boastful

- True love will always be far more impressed with its own unworthiness than its own merit.
- Love is kept humble.

5) Love is not proud

6) Love is not rude

- There is a graciousness in Christian love which never forgets that courtesy and tact and politeness are lovely things.

7) Love is not self-seeking

- There are those in this world who are always thinking of what life owes them and there are those who never forget what they owe to life.
- Whenever we start thinking about "ourselves" and "our place" we are drifting away from Christian love.

8) Love is not easily angered

- Kipling said that it was the test of a man if he could keep his head when everyone else was losing his. The man who is master of his temper can be master of anything.

9) Love keeps no record of wrongs

- One of the greatest talents in life is to learn what to forget. Many people nurse their wrath to keep it warm; they brood over their wrongs until it is impossible to forget them. Christian love has learned the great lesson forgetting

10) Love does not delight in evil

- Better to translate this that love finds no pleasure in anything that is wrong.

11) Love rejoices with the truth

- Christian love has no desire to veil the truth; it has nothing to hide and so is glad when the truth is revealed

12) Love always protects

- It is possible that this may mean "love can cover anything," meaning it will never drag into the light of day the faults and mistakes of others.
- Love can bear any insult, any injury, and disappointment

13) Love always trust

- In relation to God it means that love takes God at his word.
- In relation to our fellow men it means that love always believes the best about other people.

14) Love always hopes

- Hope here means to expect to know! Love "knows" that god has everything under his control and rests in that promise. (Psalms 25)

15) Love always perseveres

- The verb used here (hupomenein) is translated to bear or to endure but what it really describes is not the spirit which can passively bear things, but the spirit which can conquer. (Philippians 4:13)

Paul has three final things to say of Christian love

1. Love never fails

When all the things in which men glory have passed away, love will still stand. The Song of Solomon 8:7 says "Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away." The one unconquerable thing is love. Barclay says "When love is entered into, there comes into life a relationship against which the assaults of time are helpless and which transcends death."

2. Love perfects us

Love makes us complete. (I John 4:12-18) Love matures us, it allows us to see ourselves as we truly are and God for who He truly is. Love grows us: it keeps us from acting like children only concerned for our own desires. It is a process which will not be complete until Christ’s return.

3. Love is supreme

Great as faith and hope are, love is still greater. Faith without love is cold, and hope without love is grim. Love is the fire which kindles faith and it is the light which turns hope into certainty.

Today sermon preached by Ps Jeffery. That is a good sermon, share with all:

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity

What is BGR?
That is not mean BOY GIRL RELATIONSHIP. It is mean "BUILDING GOOD RELATIONSHIP".

1) The LOVE of a true friend is constant.

Question: Do you have true friend in your life?

" A friend is one who understand our silence."
" A friend is a volume of sympathy bound in cloth."
" A friend is one who multiplies joy and divides grief."
" A friend is who comes in when he whole world has walked out."

John 13: 34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As i have loved you, so you must love one another.

- A true friend accept who we are.
Romans 15:7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

- Speak word of encourage to our friend everyday.
Hebrews 13:13a But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today

2) Friendships deepens during touch times
- A true friend always there for you when the time in needs.

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Wish you all HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY and FRIENDSHIP FOREVER!!! God bless you!

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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.” –
I CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 NIV

Lord,Because love is patient…Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen. Hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage,remembering your endless patience with me.
Because love is kind… Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say “Please” and “Thank You” because those little things still mean so much.
Because love does not envy or boast, and it is not proud… Help me have a heart that is humble and sees the good in others. May I celebrate and appreciate all that I have and all that I am, as well as doing the same for those around me.
Because love is not rude or self-seeking… Help me to speak words that are easy on the ear and on the heart. When I’m tempted to get wrapped up in my own little world, remind me there’s a great big world out there full of needs and hurts.
Because love is not easily angered and keeps no record of wrongs… Help me to forgive others as you have forgiven me. When I want to hold onto a grudge, gently help me release it so I can reach out with a hand of love instead.
Because love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth…Help me stand up for what is right and good. May I defend the defenseless, and help the helpless. Show me how I can make a difference.
Because love always protects and always trusts… Help me to be a refuge for those around me. When the world outside is harsh and cold, may my heart be a place of acceptance and warmth.
Finally, because love always perseveres… Help my heart continually beat with love for You and others. Thank you for this day when we celebrate love, and for showing us what that word really means. Amen.
