The Love Chapter

While rummaging through my wallet turning up artifacts like abone digger in a tar pit, I uncovered a tidbit from my past. It was a laminated heart with a cross in it I got from www.Stjudeshrine.Org. It has the "love chapter" printed on the back. I kept it knowing one day I would need it somehow.

I Corinthians 13:4-8 is the declaration of all that love is and the indictment of how miserably we fail to do it.

I was in an angered state over a perceived wrongdoing I had suffered. I was not patient, nor kind. I was too busy taking into account the wrong. I bore nothing, hoped nothing, endured nothing.

It dawned on me that God IS Love. He is all the things in the love chapter...All the time.

I was humbled, and quieted. If God can be all these things to me...A chief among sinners myself, I can make the effort heroic or not to seek such virtue toward those I should love.

I'm sorry God. I may fail... but You, who is Love, do not.
