1 Corinthians 13:4
Love suffers long and is kind
Suffering for long is not in the natural nature of man, and kindness may be in the same category too. However, love has the characteristic of long-suffering and kind. Love can be seen in both believers and non-believers - it is part of the image of God that is embedded in us, who are His creation. In fact the qualities of love are spontaneous, they happen by itself without premeditation. If it is planned, than it would not be love, rather it will have ulterior motive. Another act of love is in fact heroism, when a stranger risks himself to save another, without understanding the reason - our Lord said, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends." (John 15:13)
