Biblical Love

A heart standing ready with kindness 
And the patience to care
Content with God's provision 
And the humility to share

The willingness to lift up others
And treat neighbors as brothers
The laying aside of personal space
To render the broken hope and grace

Seeing past others failures and sin
Raising them up to see their beauty within
Lifting up prayers to God up above 
To be a beacon of His everlasting love

The fruit of this type of living 
Will never pass away
And will bring the one giving
Heaven's peace that will stay

1 Corinthians 13:4-8,13 (KJV). 
[4] Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 

[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 

[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 

[8] Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 

[13] And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
