Love Is

I Corinthians 13:4-8

"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."


Is Love

Love is patient. Love is patient
Love is patient!
Out of all the wonders love is from these
All its marvels that bring us to our knees
Why patient?
Is it the patience that we project when we are cross?
Is it the patience we speak of when we are at a loss?
For words, for reasons
During times that were seasoned
With trials, discomfort, the icks and ticks we go through when we're with each other
Our brother, sister, or lover?
Yes, that too.

But since we're talking about love
Let's look to the one above

God is love. Love is patient
Patience is waiting
God is patient. Love is waiting
For God's timing

Perfect love casts out all fear. It's clear
That to love like so requires more waiting than you know
For God's time, which is neither fast or slow
But it is a letting go
And letting God move through us, and thus
Love is patient

Love is patient
It's the first thing mentioned
Unexpected, but fitting
Because letting
God's love unceasing
Fill us to overflowing
Leads us to finding
What is
How to
Who to
And when to
Love
