Love suffers long, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails…. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
* The Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4 – 8 (New King James Version)
If you really love someone or something, sometimes that someone/something is the one you’ll be really afraid of being hurt by. This makes you afraid of loving.
That’s the different between our imperfect love with God’s Perfect love. He loves us, and yes being hurt by our sins, but He keeps loving us.
