There is this great experience in my life that has given me so much patience and has been so tranquil in its dealings with me. And the experience has caused me to be the recipient of such kindness and thoughtfulness beyond measure. And at the times when I’ve acquired something this experience has never shown me any amount of jealousy and it was mindful to not brag or be arrogant when I had to standby and just be the observer. Just being a part of this experience there has never been room for rudeness or oversight for my needs. And I’ve never had to be overly conscious of arousing any negative feelings. And if I ever made a mistake it wasn’t taken personally. One of the most remarkable things I’ve seen as a part of this experience is this great character that never took an opportunity to jump to believe the worst but instead it held to the hope of truth or some reasonable explanation for what could be seen. Even more remarkable was to witness acts of just repeated patience being extended. A patience that just seemed to endure the test of time in such difficult situations. It seemed to be endless. This GREAT experience is love. I’ve witnessed the various facets of “true love” in my lifetime during my interactions with various people. And I’m grateful that I can say I have “seen” and “experienced” it. People can say all day long that they love you but until you can experience it in its true form as defined by I Corinthians 13, you never truly experience it. I just pray that all of these characteristics can be found wrapped up in me by others.
