What Does Love Look Like?

Jerry Bridges in his book The Discipline of Grace takes 1 Corinthians 13 (The great love chapter) and writes out verses 4 and 5 as action statements, encouraging the reader to "Ask yourself how your doing in your day to day practice of love."

• I am patient with you because I love you and want to forgive you. 
• I am kind to you because I love you and want to help you. 
• I do not envy your possessions or your gifts because I love you and want you to have the best. 
• I do not boast about my attainments because I love you and want to hear about yours. 
• I am not proud because I love you and want to esteem you before myself. 
• I am not rude because I love you and care about your feelings. 
• I am not self-seeking because I love you and want to meet your needs. 
• I am not easily angered by you because I love you and want to overlook your offenses. 
• I do not keep a record of your wrongs because I love you, and "love covers a multitude of sins."  

So how is your love?
