The Bible verse 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 is often read at weddings, but how do we apply it to everyday life? On ‘Behind the Quote’, hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Dr. Cortina Peters discuss the meaning of these words for building stronger relationships and cultivating love for ourselves.
Love Goes Beyond Feelings
Dr. Cortina reminds us that while love is often associated with warm emotions, it is also an intentional choice we make, even in challenging moments.
Love Requires Self-Reflection
To truly love others, we must first be patient and kind toward ourselves. Dr. Cortina highlights the importance of letting go of self-criticism and past mistakes.
Love Takes Practice
Just like any skill, cultivating love requires practice. Dr. Cortina suggests breaking down the qualities described in the verse into actionable steps for daily life.
