"That Ain't Love"

So, in Francis Chan's book "Crazy Love", he does something totally cool that I'd like you to see as well.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Replace the words 'love' and 'it' with God.

Isn't that cool? :)

I love it!

Now replace those words with your name.

Don't you feel like a liar?

I did.

Isn't it sad that our (humanity's) whole view of love is so skewed that when we read a verse in the bible that embodies love, we don't match up with it? Doesn't God command us to?

Romans 13:8
 8 Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law.

I'm thinking I need a change in my life.
Or I need my life to change.
