session 4 last night looked at love being patient, truthful and forgiving.
Thinking about those three things exposes the double standards that I tend to have. I want people to be patient with me and give me a second chance but I'm usually reluctant to do the same with other people. I want people to be truthful at all times but i wouldn't mind being able to bend the truth a little bit if it suits me. I want people to forgive me easily, but can sometimes hold onto bitterness myself.
Its easy to want different standards applied to ourselves than we are willing to apply to others. If we got what we deserve, we'd all be judged guilty by God. It's only through His grace that we're not! Think how patient God's love is to put up with me making the same mistakes time and time again!
