Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
– 1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV)
Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible
How do you define love? For many of us, we define love as intense physical attraction or emotional bonding. But the Bible defines love very differently. In many ways, the Scriptural definition of love is not seen until things go wrong. Emotions come and go, but godly love equips us for when people test our patience. Godly love prefers others rather than focusing on ourselves. This Valentine’s Day make a decision to esteem your valentine over your own needs. When you do, your actions will speak louder than angels, gifts, or extravagant displays.
