The first description of love given in the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians is patience: Love is patient. Contemplate that. Love is patient, or is waiting, or is enduring, or is persevering. This are all Greek counterpoints to the word translated patient. The King James version interprets it as 'suffers long.' There's something we don't want to hear or endure.
One word that does not describe me is 'patient.' I guess that reveals a fault or weakness of mine. If I am to loving, I am to be patient. This is something I am going to have to address, or should I say change.
