"I am..."

Since love is the “highest goal,” I regularly do a heart-check to see how I’m doing in the love department. I look at 1 Corinthians 13 and take out the words “love is” and insert “I am.” After I read this passage, I ask myself, “Are these things becoming true of me?”

I am patient and kind.

I am not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.

I do not demand my own way.

I am not irritable, and I keep no record of when I have been wronged.

I am never glad about injustice, but rejoice whenever the truth wins out.

I never give up, never lose faith, I am always hopeful and I endure through every circumstance (NLT).
