1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love bears all things.
Love will teach us how to endure whatever comes our way, without giving up. It will teach us how to stick by someone through the most difficult times and seasons.
Love will also teach us how to hold fast to God, even when the enemy is inundating us with accusations, trying everything he knows to convince us that God is a liar, in order to get us to walk away from our faith.
Love will cause us to protect those close to us, even if it means making a huge sacrifice to do it.
This kind of love goes beyond the mushy, romantic emotions fed to us by TV and movies. It is life-changing and will cause us to become someone that we never knew we could be, because God will use it to shape us and mold us, from the inside, out.
Love of this kind will not be based on something we feel from time to time. Instead, it will last a lifetime. And it will stay with us until we take our last breath.
Once we let God teach us how to love like this, we will never, ever be the same again.
