i think i gonna type about what i read in"love dare"
i suddenly feel so motivated to read this book, i dont know why
i am like highlighting all the important parts
and making sure i absorb everything
i never felt so engross in a christian book before....

DAY 1 : love is patient

  • love is life's most powerful motivator
  • it always does what is best for others and can empower us to face the greatest problems
  • love is built on two pillar that best defines what it is, patience and kindness
  • love will inspire you to be a patient person
  • when you are patient, you choose to respond in a positive way to a negative situation
  • you are slow to anger
  • you choose to have a long fuse instead of a quick temper
  • love helps you settle down and begin extending mercy to those around you
  • patience brings an internal calm during an external storm
  • anger is usually caused when the stong desire for something is mixed with disappointment and grief
  • anger is often an emotional reaction that flows out of our own selfishness, foolishness, or evil motives
  • patience makes us wise
  • patience doesn't rush to judgement but listens to what the other person is saying

"He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly" proverbs 14:29

"A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but the slow to anger clams a dispute" proverbs 15:18

  • patience is where lvoe meets wisdom
  • patience understands that everyone fails. when a mistake is made, it chooses to give them one more time that they deserve to correct it. it gives you the ability to hold on during the tough times in your relationship rather than bailing out under pressure

" see that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another" 1 thessalonians 5:15

  • patience is a good starting point to demonstrate true love

Day 2: love is kind

  • kindness is love in action
  • patience avoids a problem; kindness creates a blessing
  • love makes you kind and kindess make you likeable

"do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of yoru heart. so you will find favor and good repute in the sigh of God and man" proverbs 3:3-4

  • gentleness-you are sensitive and tender, you speak the truth in love
  • helpfulness
  • willingness- a kind husband ends thousand of potential arguements by his willingness to listen first rather than demand his way
  • initiative- when acting from kindness, you see the need, then make your move first

" she opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness in her tongue" proverbs 31:26

  • love is the truest sense is not based on feelings
  • love determines to show thoughtful actions even when there seems to be no reward
  • you will never learn to love until you learn to demonstrate kindness
