This is only the first part of defining what love is.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
As someone who does not have any experience on a relationship with opposite sex, people tend to assume that I have no idea ‘bout love. Well, people you are wrong. After all this time I have been patiently waiting, because that is how the scriptures first definition of love, “love is patient”.
I remember someone I met online, just a week ago who would simply utters “I love you”, and every time he did it I would sarcastically tell him how simple it is for him to say those words, ‘coz for me this phrase is something I would not tell to anyone if I don’t really mean it or even if how much I wanted to tell it to someone I choose not to, because it is something so sacred for me, you just can’t simply say it without sincerity. After knowing each other for a week (thru chats) he then bids goodbye (at least, I wasn’t ghosted) because I cannot reciprocate the feeling he had for me (according to him), thus, it leads me to a conclusion that he was never sincere at all, like hello we just knew each other for A WEEK, and if he is really true to his words, he would be patiently waiting. I was sorry for him, I hope he would realize that there is a beauty on waiting, not only waiting but waiting patiently.
