Love that Builds

It is interesting that I often run when life goes wrong. For example, a few years I stopped going to a college group. From my vantage point they insulted me and my point of view. I look back and wonder, was that decision pride? Was I viewing the situation and those involved through the eyes of Christ? Brothers and sisters in Christ don't give up on each other but let love overwhelm your heart. People may hurt you but rather than respond to them in anger or resentment. Remember "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." Christ would not expect anything less from us.
