We probably don't have to think too far back to recall times when we experienced disappointment because we failed at following these love commands. The good news is if we continue meditating on God's Word in these areas, it will change us from the inside out, and we will begin to behave differently.
I challenge you to confess these words daily and watch God transform your life:

- I endure long. I am patient and kind;
- I am never envious or jealous. I am not boastful or vainglorious; I do not display myself haught
- I am not conceited, arrogant or inflated with pride;
- I am not rude or unmannerly, and I do not act unbecomingly.
- God’s love in me does not insist on my own rights or my own way; for I am not self-seeking.
- I am not touchy, fretful or resentful;
- I take no account of the evil done to me and pay no attention to a suffered wrong;
- I do not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but I rejoice when right and truth prevail.
- I bear up under anything and everything that comes, and I am ever ready to believe the best of every person.
- My hope is fadeless under all circumstances, and I endure everything without weakening.
- My love never fails. It never fades, becomes obsolete or comes to an end.

To Receive Jesus as Lord ad Savior:(Sinner's Prayer) Dear God, I am a sinner. I need a savior. I need Jesus. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose on the third day. I ask Jesus now to come into my heart and to become Lord over my life. Satan has no more power over me. I say with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. Father, help me to live for you, and thank you for saving me. John 3:16.
To Rededicate Your Life to the Lord (after falling away):Dear Heavenly Father: I confess to you that I have sinned. You said if I confess my sin you are faithful and just to forgive me and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I turn away from sin and turn to you, and I ask you to forgive me. I forgive myself also. Father, thank you for forgiving me, remembering my sin no more and allowing me to have right standing with you again. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
