I have read 1 Corinthians chapter 13 as an ought to passage. I should strive to love others the way this passage commands. I never connected the passage to God as the qualities that God is because, God is love. The thought that my heavenly father feels this way about me was life changing, humbling. I don’t deserve such an awesome savior and that is were grace meets my heart. Here is some of the attributes from Chapter 13:

God is patient.

God is kind.

God is not boastful or conceited, does not envy.

God does not act improperly.

God is not selfish.

God is not provoked.

God does not keep a record of wrongs.

God finds no joy in unrighteous, but rejoices in truth.

God bears, believes, hopes, and endures.

His love is everlasting.

How amazing that we have a God who is with us in all we face, who is perfect in love, and never grows weary but holds us up in his right hand.
