Daily Reflection
The first quality Scripture gives to love is patience.
O le uiga muamua o le alofa i le Tusi Pa'ia o le onosa'i.
Paul describes love as patient and kind, without envy or pride. These qualities call believers to show love through their responses and actions each day.
Ua fa'amatala e Paulo le alofa o le onosa'i ma le agalelei, e lē fua'i pe fa'amaualuga. O nei uiga e vala'auina ai ē fa'atuatua e fa'aalia le alofa i a latou tali ma amioga i aso uma.
Patience is hardest at home — with ageing parents, with children, with a spouse. Today, when anger rises, count to three before answering. That small gap is exactly where love grows.
O le onosa'i e sili ona faigatā i totonu o le aiga — i matua matutua, i fanau, ma i le to'alua. I lenei aso, a e lagona le ita, faitau i le tolu a'o le'i tali atu. O lena avanoa pu'upu'u o le nofoaga lea e tupu ai le alofa.
