Love is ...


                                        Love is ...
 Love is patient, love is kind. 

 it is not proud.  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. It 
always protects, always trusts, always
 hopes, always perseveres -Corinthians

 13:4-7 Love is sacrifice deciding not to come

home late at night. Love is not getting into paltry

fights but it is admitting you wrong and overlooking

your pride. Love is believing I can rely on you

it's not falling through and saying it's the last time.
 Love is not ignoring how I feel. Love is
 acknologing I'm real.
Love is not you.
 Love is not me. Love is us. Love is we.
I love you.
