1 Corinthians 13:4-8a says, “Love suffers long and is kind;love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things Love never fails ”
Could you put your own name there instead of the word” love”? This is the sort of love we should be aiming to have.
Jesus called the woman He healed in Mark 5 “daughter”. This woman had been excluded from normal family life and had become an outcast in society. So Jesus, by calling her daughter was reaffirming her, bringing her into that close relationship. The woman with the issue of blood was restored physically, emotionally and spiritually. She had suffered rejection because of her condition, but Jesus accepted her as his child.
Jesus commended her faith in Him and said to her “Go in peace and be healed of your affliction” The Greek word for peace here is “eirene”, which means peace, prosperity, rest, set at one again. This lady had been set to rights again.
