Love is not Irritable - Day 6, times 2

Love isn't prideful, lustful, irritable. Love doesn't get angry for anger is selfish. Love doesn't focus on possession or greed, lust for another's objects or person. Love encourages, forgives, appreciates and is slow to anger. We have learned that anger can come from many avenues, tiredness, selfishness, worry, guilt. We have also learned that all of these can be alleviated through prayer. Venting vertically we call it. When you do something wrong, tell God, let the guilt and worry about it roll off your shoulders so God can catch it and make it better. Build each other up, whether friends, coworkers or spouses. Take the moments to say what has been so for you and build each other up to create loving relationships.

Love does for others not because they get something. Love just does things to create a life for others that is increasing good. Love wants the best for those around them and will help others achieve their best. Love takes the talents God has given them and uses them to benefit others. Love tells others what is good and righteous about them, what they grow from learning from others. Love is what makes this world go around.

Love isn't irritable, take a moment and create some margin in your life. Spend a Day Alone With God and get right. Then share this love with others and enjoy the joy that surrounds you.
