1 Corinthians 13:4

Chapter 13
Love
1If I speak in the tonguesOr languages of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,Some early manuscripts body that I may boast but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self–seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love 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.9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

When our love for others is genuine, we are willing to bear their offenses and suffer their ill-treatment without attempting to retaliate! Think of Christ's example! "does not envy" - the person in whom love reigns supreme is saddened by the tragedies and disappointments of the unfortunate, and he rejoices over their attainments and blessings!

Love is mixed bag of things isn't it? The only thing I'm not overly comfortable of (as a mere human) is the long suffering side of things. Love might be able to suffer long, but man kind? I guess thats where we need to rely on Gods strength.
