1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love (for others growing out of God’s love for me), then I have become only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal (just an annoying distraction).

God is love and the best example of how we treat others no matter how ugly they can be.  Love separates feelings from the actions of others and loves them and not their behavior.  Love teaches us not to take offense and quickly shed any offense.  When we walk in love, we maintain our peace and model the love of God for us.
