Love Is Not Fretful - Miss Ethel

Last Wednesday night, Pastor Steve challenged us to read I Corinthians 13 - the love chapter - in the Amplified Version. I soon had an opportunity to put those principles into practice.



On Saturday, I walked into a store, all happy, and ready to shop. The lady gave me a hard time, and I left disappointed. For two blocks, I walked stewing about the incident.



The Word of God came back to me, "love is not fretful." I tried to play dumb. "What is fretful, God?"

He wouldn't let me get away with that one. "What you've been doing for the last two blocks. You want me to rewind the tape? Let it go!"



I let it go. If I hadn't, it would have ruined my day and stolen my peace. I'm challenging all of you to read the love chapter, I Corinthians 13, in the Amplified and see what the Lord does in your life.
