Love Notes to OBS Group from East AM Session

Love Note #1:  Jesus' love is not ever rude.  One definition of rude is "primitive" when we are rude to others we are like little, selfish toddlers..."Mine, Mine!"  The mark of maturity is Jesus' love flowing out of us when others are rude and we respond with long suffering and kindness by the Holy Spirit's power.  

Love Note #2:  When we fail to LOVE, Jesus is patient, kind, He bears all our sins and is faithful!

Love Note #3:  Love Endures Forever.

Love Note #4:  Love is eternal and is our eternal reward with God in Heaven.

Love Note #5:  Love is our badge of Christianity - we are identified with Christ when we exemplify love to others.  Also, it is personal because we put our own names on it.  Love in action believes the best of everyone and trusts God to bring about a transgressors repentance and restoration.  We show our love through our service to others by exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit, demonstrating Jesus' love to all.  

Love Note #6:  Jesus doesn't keep a record of our wrongs.  This chapter spoke a lot about envy and what goes with it (bitter contempt).  It had personal application.
