1st Corinthians 13 vs 5. or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
Today’s scripture tells you what love is not. It tells you that love is not rude. So if anyone is being rude to you, that is not love. That is disrespect, mistreatment, and is not a way that you should be treated.
As a Christian, you should not be rude, you should love people, and treat them with respect. Treat them, the way you would like to be treated that should be your reference how to treat people and look to Jesus how he treated people. Treat people right is right. Jesu was not rude, but embraced, and loved people. He was not rude but considerate, thoughtful, and caring. We should be that way too, as that shows love. Rudeness don’t show love. As a Christian, you should show love, daily and glorify God.
Love does not insist on it’s own way! It puts others first. For example, it could be your turn, but you let others go first. When driving you give others way, although you have the right of way. You let people speak first. You allow others, before yourself, that is displaying, showing, applying love to life, and Living, Love serves others, with a good attitude, no moaning, look at Jesus as an example, he could have moaned but he didn’t, he served, and loved, with a good attitude. You can too, as Jesus is, so are YOU, in this world.
Love is not irritable, this means it is even tempered, cool, calm. It does not easily be, become annoyed. So if you are easily bothered, overly sensitive, negative mood and attitude, your not acting, behaving out, from love. And if others are this way, with you, or in general, they are not functioning from a place of love because Love is not irritable. It is gentle, calm, patient, non irritable, quite the opposite to irritable. Love does not behave irritable, moody, or rude.
Love is not resentful, it don’t hold offense, it lets it go, and moves on. Love does not pollute, corrupt it’s self with resentment, it forgives, and forgets, it does not allow negative to bind it, keep it bound, it does not resent, it forgives, and you can too, you as a child if God, has love in your heart, you can forgive offence, let it go, move on, and hold no ill feelings.
You can start from today, apply forgiveness, to your relationships, as love is not easily offended, angered, or irritated, it forgives offense, and loves… you can start today, applying this aspect of love to your relationship, friendships, your life, and life. Do that from today forward, and have more blessed friendships, communications, and relationships. Remember, people are people, they are human, and will offend, it is what it is, but you are in charge of how you react respond, respond with love, biblical love.
You can start with today’s scripture, and the examples via this daily devotional, start applying it, and improve you relationships, friendships, and communication, through applying biblical love.
