Today I want to write a bit about Love. Our love for each other as friends, ministry partners, and Christians is an essential bond for the health of our team. Nothing can stop us if we have love as a core value.
Check out these words from 1 Corinthians 13:
Love is patient- we are patient with each others rough spots and growing pains
love is kind.- we treat each other with gentleness and respect
It does not envy,- we recognize there are different levels of talent, but we celebrate that
it does not boast, it is not proud.- we don't have an attitude
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,- when the team wins, we win
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.- we forgive and forget
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.- we all have blindsides and areas of improvement. Instead of pretending nothing is wrong, we will tell the truth in love, and help.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.- we will expect the best from each other, we won't grow weary in doing great work
Only by loving each other as brothers and sisters can we speak essential truth to each other and improve our craft. People will be attracted to our team when they see that we have love for each other.
Let's continue to practice the art of love on our team!

Q&A...
What are some of the other practical ways we can have a team that loves each other?
How do you think great team dynamics and the love described in Corinthians relate?
