When I Am Loved, This Is How I Feel

Mike MinterBible, Teaching SeriesMay 8, 2014 Leave a comment0

RevolutionaryLove - slide - title2

Last weekend as part of his Revolutionary Love series, Pastor Mike shared a reading based on 1 Corinthians 13. Since many asked for a copy of it, here it is below.

Thank you for being patient with me and all my shortcomings.  Your kindness has worked its way into my heart.  The way you genuinely rejoice when others are blessed instead of being envious has taught me to follow your example.  Your lack of boasting and pride make me feel safe to be around you.  Your gentle spirit erases the painful rudeness of life.  I am drawn to you because you are never self-seeking and desire to bless me above yourself.  You never seem angry when I fail you, which has been a model for me to do the same.  Thank you for not rehearsing my wrongs as your love has covered a multitude of my sins.  You draw daily from the tree of life and shun evil which so refreshes my very being.  I love the way you rejoice in the truth because knowing the truth sets me free.  You so desire to protect my reputation and character which allows me to focus on the Lord.  Your consistent trust in me has made me feel very special and the fact that your hope in my success always perseveres.  Your love simply never fails.  You make me feel like I am the greatest because the greatest of these is love.
