love

love is patient

love is kind

it does not envy

it does not boast

it is not proud

it is not rude

it is not self-seeking

it is not easily angered

it keeps no record of wrongs

love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth

love always protects

always trusts

always hopes

always perseveres

love never fails [esv: love never ends]

1 Corinthians 13

it baffles me that this has become cliche. its' had my attention the past couple days. 

this is literally who God is. each line is so rich. 

love is humble. 

AW Tozer quotes from his book Knowledge of the Holy:

Love wills the good of all.

His love disposes Him to desire our everlasting welfare and His sovereignty enables Him to secure it.

In Christian experience there is a highly satisfying love content that distinguishes it from all other religions and elevates it to heights far beyond even the purest and noblest philosophy. This love content is more than a thing; it is God Himself in the midst of His Church singing over His people. True Christian joy is the heart's harmonious response to the Lord's love song.
