Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Father, I want to experience the true meaning of your love. Let me truly be the person you want me to be - practicing your patience and kindness consciously and conscientiously today and the rest of the week. May I learn and experience these two aspects of your being in a personal way. In Jesus' name I pray.
