Bible Verse of The Day – 9-15-18

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 endures all things. 

Endure: suffer (something painful or difficult) patiently. Persevere, tolerate, brave, bear, withstand, abide, persist,

Love perseveres through every circumstance, regardless of the severity of it.

Love is not short-lived. It stands strong when natural strength is all but gone.

This kind of love can’t be bought. It can’t be created by human will. It flows directly from God, to His children.

It is this kind of love that endures, hopes and believes. It is this kind of love that will cause us to set ourselves aside and stand when frail, human love collapses on the floor, weak from life’s battles.

The love that God imparts into us by His spirit will steadily transform us from frail, finicky, fickle people, who care only about ourselves, into mighty warriors of God’s kingdom who learn to lay ourselves aside and face the many things that life throws at us, refusing to be defeated.

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
