I love talking about love ;-)
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.
I am learning that Love is more proactive than it is reactive. Actually, it should not be based on reaction at all. In 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter, what is said about love? That's exactly what's said; Love IS. To "IS", excuse my grammar, you must do or already be. The bible does not say love will be or love should be it says love is. The bible also does not say love should not, probably not or would not, it says love never. So to love someone its not about the mere feeling of emotions (although these emotions that can accompany love feel great and God blessed us with them)!
Love is certainly an action and it's should not be only responsive. Love is God! God is gracious and compassionate ( kind, not rude, not self seeking) He is slow to anger ( patient, is not easily angered) and rich in love (always protects, trusts, perserveres, love never fails).
