Being taught how to do anything takes practice, knowledge, awareness, compassion, loyalty, and caring
about other people's feelings. I can only be taught how to love by God, because God is love. I need to
exude a teachable spirit within my heart. All I have to do is thoroughly read the Bible and examine all the
times God forgave people of their sins. Every time God showed patience when I was slow in catching
onto what he was saying, taught me how to love. His patience is the ultimate expression of love, because
we all fall short of God's glory. Every time I lie to people, teach me how to love. Every time I have lustful
thoughts running through my mind, teach me how to love. When I see people on the street begging for food,
or money, teach me how to love. When I see some people prostituting themselves on the street, showing
ignorance of the precious jewel they are to you, teach me how to love. Teach me how to love, and I will
know how to love.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right. Whatever is pure. Whatever is
lovely. Whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.
Galatians 5:22-25
But the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control. Against such things, there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful
nature with its passions and desires.
Dear Lord, with my emotions of jealousy, hatred, envy, actions of revenge, neglect , killing, homicide,
and other emotions as such, teach me how to love. With your forgiveness, compassion, hope you give
me, dreams you've made come true are examples of how to love you've extended to me. From these
realities existing daily in my life, you teach me how to love.
