Corinthians 13 defines the attributes of Love.
Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
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.
Love never fails".
What this means to me is:
That if I love, if I really love - I can't fail.
Sometimes we are so caught up in "Doing the right thing", "Being there", "Making it right", "Being Perfect", etc. etc.
that we forget the greatest thing is to love.
If all I concentrated on was loving Mum(like the flower) - I could not fail.
If loving her was the #1 thing - than WHATEVER I did, what ever happened, how ever it happened, it would be the right thing.
