What if this was you??

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT)

We've all heard this following scripture before, but what if it was describing you? That would put a whole new spin on it. Check this out - replace the word "love" and "it(s)" with your name and appropriate personal pronoun (he/she, his/hers.) I'll use my name as the example:

Scott is patient and kind. Scott is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. He does not demand his own way. He is not irritable, and he keeps no record of being wronged. Scott does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Scott never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (Modified from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Wouldn't it be great if that scripture described us? Good news! It can. Sure we'll fail many times, but it does provide a great example of how to live.

Put your name in there and then, to the best of your ability, become that person. It'll be worth it - for you and for your family.

Enjoy the ride.
