Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs (1 Cor 13:4-5).
The Bible tells us what real Love is. This is obviously the think of love that we expect God to show all of his children, right?
And yet:
Psalms 2:12 - For His wrath can flare up in a moment.
This is clearly not a patient God.
Deuteronomy 28:21-22 - The LORD will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.
This does not seem very kind of God.
Deuteronomy 4:24 - For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Clearly, God is capable of envy.
Job 41:34 - He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud.
Pride!
