POSITIVE BEHAVIOR OF LOVE

An investigator asked a man
who had murdered his wife
why he had brutely killed her.
He replied, "Because I
loved her and no other man
was going to have her."
This is one of numberless
attitudes and beliefs persons
have about love: to them it
is an emotional roller coaster
and many times irrational and
out of control causing harmful behavior.
Years ago in a catechism class
I was given a wallet card with
the following verb behaviors of
love written by Saint Paul, a biblical writer
hundreds of years ago in First
Corinthians chapter thirteen.
Notice the following behaviors of real love:
1. Love is very patient
2. love is always kind
3. Love is never jealous
4. Love never envies
5. Love never brags
6. Love is never arrogant
7. Love is never selfish
8. Love is never rude
9. Love never demands  its own way
10. Love is not irritable or touchy
11. Love does no hold grudges
12. Love rarely notices what is wrong
13. Love doesn't  support injustices
14. Love rejoices when someone wins
15  Love is loyal no matter the cost
16. Love always believes
17. Love expects the best
18. Love will defend the accused
19. Love never fails
To make these behaviors a personal
test go back and substitute your NAME
for the word LOVE. How does it feel?
This will be a wonderful resolution
for 2021--to practices the BEHAVIORS
of love. All are behavior choices
initiated by thoughts creating attitudes,
which create behavior.
