Love with a spine—that’s what we explore as we walk through 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 and trade soft slogans for a tested standard. Paul sets the tone: spiritual gifts impress, but without love they’re noise. Then we slow down and let each phrase work on us—patient and kind love that resists hurry; humble love that refuses jealousy, bragging, and arrogance; steady love that won’t act disgracefully or keep score. The result isn’t a guilt trip; it’s a roadmap for growth rooted in God’s character, not our mood. We tackle a tough tension many of us feel: the difference between love and approval. Real love doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, and it won’t baptize harm with warm feelings. At the same time, it doesn’t weaponize truth to win points. We talk parenting and leadership, where indulgence can masquerade as care, and how humility keeps us aligned with Scripture rather than our image. We call out virtue signaling and gossip—how public performances of compassion hollow us out, and how keeping confidence restores safety and dignity in relationships and church communities. Finally, we lean into hope: love bears, believes, hopes, and endures—not with gullibility, but with discernment. Trust what aligns with truth; when words and actions diverge, address it gently, patiently, and without arrogance. We share practical ways to live this out—slowing our reactions, speaking plainly without contempt, guarding confidences, and choosing presence over performance. If you’re ready to move beyond vibes into a biblical, durable love that actually helps people heal, this conversation will sharpen and encourage you. <a href='https://wofoyo.org/'>https://wofoyo.org/</a>            #wofoyo
