It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:7
Does your love always? Once again, we see just infallible and faulty human love is, and how perfect God's love is, and how much we need his love in us to truly love.
Because my love doesn't always. I think I may be pretty good at protecting the ones I love. But does my love always trust? Does it always hope? Nope.
Why is it important to always? Why is it important to protect, trust, hope, persevere?
Because that is the core of the human experience, don't you think? Our lives move forward when we trust. When we hope. We grow when we persevere. When we protect.
Amazing.
Amazing how much love is a part of who we are.
Love makes the world go round, so the saying goes. And it's true. Can you imagine a world without hope? Can you imagine a world with no protection, no trust?
When we allow God's love to permeate our being, our very selves, then we can love that way. We can have the freedom to trust and hope, and we can accept the responsibility to be someone others can trust and hope in.
Remember, it's not our love. It's his. Only through his love can we truly love.
