Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud!

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

~1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is patient and kind! Yes, that is love! We need to be of love, that of Jesus Christ, He was all about love! We are called to be like Him! Today we see a world of so much envy, jealousy, greed, power, selfishness, and pride. I saw a lot of it in my work. So many are so hateful, they get jealous, envious, and are insecure and start hating others if they are more successful or do well. They do not like others doing better than them, they let their pride and boasting get in the way, causing all this hate, revenge, envy, jealousy, and insecurity to then hate people. Instead of being happy for them. We see this so much today, people cannot be happy for others, to love all, they become envious, jealous, and are insecure, and they hate others because they feel they lose power. An article about hate with the Cognitive Psychology News Journal talks a lot about this, it coincides with the Bible verse some here, in that hate is a very powerful emotion, it is not healthy, it stems from jealousy, envy, insecurity and leads to hate of some who lack Spirit and God and being healthy individuals themselves. The article can be found at: https://journalofcognitivepsychology.com/why-do-we-hate-psychology-today/

We need to love, we need to be patient! We need to not be jealous, envious, or insecure, but wish all the best and have a Christ mindset of love for all, success for all, and not be prideful or let our egos take control of our emotions. We need to be careful not to be proud! Pride is a great sin that can lead to hate and destruction. We see this today in our society with how some on the liberal left have such strong hate and TDS for President Trump, they have become their own worst enemy with their hate. They become prideful, elitist, boasting, and acting like they know best or more and are above others, but mostly out of jealousy, envy, and insecurity. Let us love and be patient and wish the best for all! We need to pray for all! We need to count our blessings, be grateful, give thanks for all! We need to be positive! We need to be loving, just like Jesus! We need to live joyful in the Lord! Singing His praises! It is all about love!
