Love is not easily angered

Love is not easily angered.  We tend to forget the important things in life sometimes, such as how we feel when we are around someone and the comfort that we take for granted.  We tend to strive to make everything perfect, but we live in an un-perfect world.  Sometimes, if we would just take a step back and look at the big picture, the small things in life that make us so mad at the moment, all seem to disappear.  These things are not so important because you realize what you really care about and all the anger subsides.  There will always be fights in any relationship, but there will be no fight too great to permanently damage a true love.

Love is not self seeking

Love is not self-seeking.  Love is about reaching out to others even when you need someone to reach out to you the most.  You should not do things for others expecting something in return.  Love is about giving to others and not thinking about yourself.  I feel like this may be the hardest way to love someone because it is one of the most unselfish forms of love.

Love is not rude to others

Love is not rude to others.  Love does not belittle anyone or make someone feel bad about themselves.  This is only a defense mechanism that insecure people use to make them self feel better about them self.  Loving someone does not always mean you are in love with this person.  Loving someone can be as simple as just being kind to a stranger even if they are not nice to you.  You never know what hardships these people face in a day or even in a lifetime.  You never know when your kindness might affect someone in a positive way for the rest of their life. When you are rude to others because they have been rude to you or just because you have had a bad day, you impact their day justly.  Why not shed some light on someone's day because you never know who might shed some light on yours?

Love is not Proud...

Love is not proud.  I know from experience, if I was ever proud or boastful about anything, I always ended up hurting someone else's feelings.  When you are proud, you tend to think more about yourself than others around you and that isn't what love is all about.  If you go about your day in an un-proud and way, people do notice.  It comes off as confidence- a good kind of confidence.  Others will see in you what you accomplish and will be proud of you which, in turn, meets that deep down feeling of self-fulfillment.  Isn't that what we are seeking anyway?  Fulfillment.  Happiness.

Love does not envy and it does not boast...

Love does not envy and it does not boast.  I believe jealousy can be the root of all evil.  It causes one to want more than he has, hindering him from enjoying what life does bring.  So, when you are jealous of someone or something, it causes you to boast about trivial things whether it is great or small.  Honestly, someone who sincerely loves you does not care what you do or don't have and if you still feel the need to boast, boast in the Lord.  The feeling of contentment will be infinite.

Love is patient, Love is kind

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
                           1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient.  Patience is an ultimate virtue.  Not everyone has it, but when you love someone, it should always be prevalent.  Without it, you are more inclined to make hasty decisions leading to fights and discontentment.  In my life, my patience has been tested so many times, but I find that I am the most patient with the ones I genuinely care about or I just work harder to understand them.  Patience is something most people have to work hard to keep and is reserved, most of the time, only for the ones we truly love. 

Love is kind.  Kindness, I believe, is one of the easiest way to show love.  It is as simple as smiling at or helping someone out with a simple task.  Sometimes it is the smallest things in life that mean so much to people and in return, most the time, love you back.  As much as you think that people don't notice your kindness, know that someone is always watching.  People may forget the things you say and they may forget the things you do, but they will never forget how you made them feel and will carry it for a lifetime.  

Broken

Today God, I ask you to break my heart open into a million pieces.  Put it back together correctly,  because I think I have misplaced a few pieces that I just can't seem to fit together.  These gaps are causing pain that only comes out in anger.  I don't want to be angry.  I want to feel whole and content.  Happy.  Fix me Lord.  Fix these holes left behind from things of my past and present with your love and patience.  I can't move forward without you.  

Amen 

"Machines never come with any extra parts you know.  They always come with the exact amount they need, so I figured if the whole entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part.  I had to be here for some reason and that means you have to be here for some reason too."
