Love is the first fruit listed in the Fruit of The Spirit, and it’s a very important thing to have in our lives. Love can be hard to define, but the Bible does a pretty good job! God takes love very seriously. Douglas wanted to have a good definition of love, so he memorized 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 which says,
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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. Love never fails.”
If you are a Christian, when people see you, they should see God’s love. You should be able to say, “Douglas is patient, Douglas is kind, etc.” And that may not be true of any of us all the time, but we should try our best to show God’s love to others in all that we do. Let’s all bear the Fruit of love!
