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. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Read it again.

For the first time, when I read this verse today, I didn't see a verse that is read at wedding after wedding. Instead, I saw something new, something refreshing, something that spoke to my heart. In my current search for my purpose in life, I consume myself with trying to figure out what I want to be and who I want to be. Love is not just an emotion, its not just something that we feel for another.... Love is everything that I want to be as a person. It's not the what, its the who! It's not just what I want to have for others, its what I strive to be. God is the who, the what and the why. He is love... and I love Him.
