Perfect Love and Imperfect People

I Corinthians 13:4-7 The Message

"Love never gives up.

Love cares more for others than for self.

Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.

Love doesn't strut,

Doesn't have a swelled head,

Doesn't force itself on others,

Isn't always "me first,"

Doesn't fly off the handle,

Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,

Doesn't revel when others grovel,

Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

Puts up with anything,

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best,

Never looks back,

But keeps going to the end. "

Why is it so hard to love people perfectly like God does? Because we are imperfect people. Even when we have the best intentions people read things into our motives. I'm so sick of being misunderstood. I'm sick of people assuming I think I'm better than them. I'm sick of hurting people on accident. We are all imperfect people and it happens. It's a shame that doing nothing can cause as much strife as actually intending to cause an argument or make someone mad.
