My cousin Peggy gave me this excellent declaration:
I am patient and kind.
I am not jealous.
I do not brag.
I am not proud.
I am not rude.
I am not selfish.
I do not get upset with others.
I do not count up the wrongs that have been done.
I am not happy with evil…
I am happy with the truth.
I PATIENTLY ACCEPT ALL THINGS. (Had to emphasize that for me!)
I always trust.
I always hope.
I always remain strong.
I never end.
This is based on 1 Cor. 4-8a. This is who I want to be: love. Since God is love, I guess I need more God!
