Love never gives up. Love never loses hope. Love lasts forever. These words are even more powerful as we understand that they are God’s attitude toward us. God desires us to have the same attitude toward others.

Our #WholeLifeReflections for this week:

• Reflection Question 1: Which aspect of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 do you find most challenging. Which aspect comes the most naturally?

• Reflection Question 2: What’s your biggest takeaway from the “Love is” series?

• Reflection Question 3: How do you, or could you, love the people in your circles of influence into a lifelong friendship with God?

It isn’t just Superman who put Truth and Justice together. In 1 Corinthians 13:7, Paul writes that love never rejoices about injustice but instead rejoices when the truth wins. If we are to love like Jesus, we can never be happy--or worse--apathetic when we see injustice. God’s people are to fight for truth and justice in this world, even if it may never fully come about until Jesus returns. 

Our #WholeLifeReflections for this week:

• How much does the news impact your moods? Do you find yourself enjoying the misfortune you see there when it belongs to a person or political party with whom you disagree?

• Do you enjoy it when someone for whom you don’t care, like an ex, boss or antagonist, suffers misfortune? Do you think Jesus enjoys their misfortune? If you do, re-read the Gospels, and think deeply about this question as you read.

• What does it look like for you to rejoice with Jesus when he wins out?

When Jesus told his disciples to forgive others 70 times 7, he wasn’t suggesting we keep a tally board. He was suggesting we are to forgive so much that we can’t keep track of how much we have forgiven. The happiest people are those who are able to let go of the scoreboard and hold onto God’s love..

Our #WholeLifeReflections for this week:

• Do you hold grudges and keep track of how you have been wronged? How often do you think about how you have been hurt by others in the past? Who has the largest “debt account” in your mind?
• If you aren’t sure if you hold grudges, one way of knowing is thinking about how often your response to someone else’s complaint about you is, “Yeah but you . . .”
• What would it look like if you eliminated the phrase, “Yeah, but you . . .”? How difficult would it be to stop rehearsing in your mind hurts from the past? How would it change your life if you did?
• Practice changing your thoughts from how you have been hurt to how God has loved and blessed you.

Paul concludes 1 Corinthians 13:5 with a declaration that love is not irritable. Not being irritable is next to impossible. Irritation, however, is the seed from which bitterness and rage grow into a plant the crowds love.

Our #WholeLifeReflections for this week:

• How willing are you to admit you are irritable? Can you think of any times you were irritable in the last week?
• What steps do you take to resolve irritability? Are there more steps you need to add?
• If irritability is an issue in your life, ask someone you love to be your accountability partner. Have them check in with you every day to see how you are feeling and how you are dealing with irritability.
• If irritability has taken over your life, make an appointment to see a health professional to provide support and help.

Love does not demand its own way. In other words, love is flexible. It allows others to exercise freedom. This does not mean there are no consequences. It simply means that true love is an open hand, not a closed hand. Someone once said that you can hold more sand with an open hand than with a hand made into a fist. 

Our #WholeLifeReflections for this week:

• What is the most selfless action you have personally observed?
• How selfless and flexible are you in your relationships?
• Take a few minutes each day this week to visualize Jesus’ selflessness for you as He willingly went to the cross for you.

There are a few jerks out there, but for the most part, we aren’t rude until we perceive someone is being rude to us. Paul reminds us that true love isn’t rude even when others are rude to us. Love compels us to ask ourselves, What is the proper way to act in this situation in spite of how the other may be treating me?

Guy Kawasaki, venture capitalist, author, and chief evangelist for Apple, once said, “If you don't toot your own horn, don't complain that there's no music.” Self-confidence carefully mixed with humility is a good thing, but without humility, self-confidence can quickly turn into arrogance, and from there into bragging that promotes one’s self at the expense of others. No wonder Paul put bragging and arrogance in the love-killer column. Find out the path to healthy self-worth without killing love in the process.

It quickly destroys relationships and, once introduced, is difficult to overcome. This week we’ll explore the cost of jealousy and the solution to eradicating it.

What are you willing to suffer for another person? Patience is defined as being “ able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.” Certainly, this is something we see displayed in Jesus' life. Today, Jesus is asking his family to be patient with family members who make life difficult. The Good News is this is a gift of the Holy Spirit for those who ask.

#WholeLifeReflections for this week:

• With whom do you struggle to be patient in your life?
• Without placing the blame on the other person(s), why do you think you are impatient with them?
• How could you be kind to this person(s)?
• Stop and pray for the person(s) you’ve been thinking of, and ask God to help you be patient and kind in your relationship with them.
