Read about It
Read: 1 Corinthians 13:4–7
In 1 Corinthians 13, we learn about the importance of love, what love is, and what love is not. These verses help us know how much God loves us, how God sees love, and how we should show love to others.
We can ask the Holy Spirit to help us grow in love for others, to help us offer forgiveness when someone hurts us, and to always respond with love. Sometimes things happen that make us want to respond in a way that does not show love. In those moments, it is important to take a step back and ask God to help us.
