Real TalkSample

If we look at the list of things in this verse to describe love, we’ll see that real love is not only something we can show others when things are going great; it’s something we can offer when things are tough in our relationships, too. If we want to practice patience and kindness, we have to extend it to people who might make us want to be unkind or impatient. If we want to show love, we have to choose not to be rude, or prideful, or hold grudges—even when it’s hard! That’s real love, and that’s when it really counts! 

First, read these verses. Then, choose which word describing love stands out to you the most. Write that word down and ask God to help you practice showing love in that way this week.
