Jehova Rohi
The Lord is my shepherd
David in Psalms 23 refers to the Lord as El Rohi. To understand and receive the shepherding of the Lord is to receive the peace and comfort of a loving shepherd and the assurance that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
He not only goes ahead of you to ward off danger but also comes behind with His goodness and mercy to hide and uphold you in your weakness.

LOVE
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
(1Cor.13:5)
Love is polite. For a humble heart is nothing but polite. In it's politeness it is completely unselfish. It does not shove its way past others, it does not use its tongue as a weapon to brush others aside to exult itself. When our hearts are completely possessed by eternal Love, we clothe our selves with gentleness and selflessness. A rude word and a selfish action becomes strange and alien to the heart that is consumed by the blazing fire from the altar of love.

LOVE
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
(ICor. 13:4)
Love does not want lustfully what does not belong to it. It is contented with what it has and rejoices in the blessing of others. When it itself is blessed, on the other hand, does not boast of its possessions. It is modest and considerate of others who may not have.
Pride is different from boasting in that pride does not need to have anything. Pride is the essence of evil. Pride is manifested in rebellion and disobedience. The greatest achievement of pride is stubbornness. Love however is not self-exulting but humble.

LOVE
Love is patient, love is kind.
(1 Cor 13:4)
There is no passion greater than love. There is no feeling as demanding as love. The Songs of Songs records... "for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame." (Songs 8:6) Yet true love is willing to wait. It is long suffering and patient. God who is love, has loved us as sinners and is willing to endure our disobedience perchance we turn to Him.
The other mark of love is kindness. To be gentle and merciful. Love is not ruthless and indifferent but will stoop down and show tenderness. Anything that is unkind is not love. How deep then the Father's love for us for His loving-kindness endures forever?!
