Applying 1 Corinthians 13:5




            This verse is the verse that says that love does not behave itself unseemly.  I wondered what the verse meant and asked God to reveal to me what it meant through my observation of my husband.  The answer I got from God has something to do with 1 Corinthians 13:11 which says, “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.  There is a difference between being childish and being childlike.  God says we all need to become as little children to enter the kingdom of heaven.   I would say being childish is being foolish.  I want to not be foolish.  My husband says the Bible should be taken literally, and I’ve read the Proverbs a lot growing up, over and over, but it didn’t have meaning in my life.  I want to read the Proverbs every day for a while and want to ask God to help me to take it literally and understand it and apply it.
