1 Cor. 13 for a Friend

        Here is another version of the Love Chapter only it is geared towards friends.

        Love is patient. - Do I give them enough time to answer back or get things done before we hang out?

         Love is kind. - Do I have a servant's heart towards them?

         Love is not jealous. - Do I like what my friends have or what they are doing? Do I think "if only"?

         Love is not boastful. - Am I prideful when I share my ideas or life with them? Am I too prideful to share with them?

         Love is not proud. - Do I ask for help or advice when I need it? Do I let them live my life with me?

          Love is not rude. - Do I watch what I say about them to other people and when I'm around them about other people?

          Love does not demand it's own ways. - Do I respect their dreams and beliefs and culture? Am I giving back what I take?

           Love is not easily angered. - Do I get mad when they don't have time to spend with me right now or tells me the truth when I ask them?

           Love keeps no records of wrongs. - Am I forgiving when I need to be?

            Love does not delight in evil but rejoices when truth wins out. - Am I sad when my friend is sad and rejoice with my friend when they rejoice?

             Love protects. - Am I there to keep my friend and their dreams safe?

              Love hopes. - Am I there to believe in and with my friend during their hard times? Do I push them through those times?

                Love trusts. - Do I trust my friends enough to tell them anything and everything?

                Love perseveres. - Do I put my friend to the best of their abilities and beyond?

                 Now how neat would it be to compare the two that I did on my blog and then do a couple of your own for whoever. It is just a good thing to look back on when having a hard time or day with people. I was thinking about doing one for family so that might be on here next month sometime. I was really thinking about a certain friend on this one but then I thought it would be neat to make it more in general and put it on here but you could even pick like 2 certain people and do it.   
                 That's your homework from me and it would be neat if I could get some comments back doing that. Maybe a few of the statements not all of them because then that would be too long. Let's do this! Make it my first interactive entry!
