Most of us are familiar with the famous and beautiful passage from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians,( Chapter 13:4-7) …. “Love is patient, love is kind,…love is not jealous, etc, etc., etc..……”  It’s a beautiful and poetic description of love and also describes an essential aspect of God…for God is love.
