CHOOSE LOVE
REV. JAYNE DAVIS
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
1 John 4:7-9
In his famous passage on love in his letter to the Corinthians, Paul talks about love as being patient and kind, not easily angered or self-seeking; keeping no record of wrongs and rejoicing with the truth. And yet here we are at the beginning of 2021 and doesn’t it seem like we are less patient and a bit harsh? Anger comes so easily to us and we have gotten self-protective. We’re keeping score and being careless with the truth. In the midst of a challenging world, how do we “Choose Love?”
