Love is .......... (pt 4)



1 Corinthians 13 says Love is patient and kind, love does not envy or boast, It is NOT Arrogant or Rude.........


Here is what Websters has to say about Arrogant and Rude


Arrogant
* Exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate ones own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner
*Proceeding from or characterized by arrogance -

Arrogance
*An attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions
Rude -
* Being in a rough unfinished state:
Crude
Natural
Raw
Primitive
Undeveloped
Simple
Elemental
*Lacking refinement or delicacy
Ignorant
Unlearned
Inelegant
Uncouth
*Offensive in manner or action
Discourteous
Uncivilized
Savage
Course
Vulgar

As much as I could go through and break down each word of these descriptions I think we can see these are not desirable ways to be and definitely desirable to God.

So if Love is not Arrogant (with an overbearing attitude of Superiority) or Rude (Vulgar, Ignorant, Crude, Underdeveloped or Savage), then I/we need to be elegant, courteous, and civilized in our actions towards others! Selah

Blessings,
Lynn

This one carries a lot of weight. I really need to watch myself and not fall into any of these things. I want to show love and be loved in every sense the Bible describes.
