Love takes no account of evil

Love takes no account of evil

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly.

Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].1Cor13:4-5.

Quote of the day: “Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you”.’Erich Fromm
