So here we go on the second paragraph in 1 Corinthians 13. This used to be the paragraph that I focused on the most but that was more of a worldly focus for me than a Godly focus.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand it’s own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
This is such a wonderful description of Love to me. It is also a very humbling and convicting description. I especially enjoy the last line. His Love never gave up on me, never lost faith and was always hopeful. Never and always are such powerful words …..concepts. They are even more powerful when they are inspired by our Father because that is how it is. There is no debating or changing what He has said, He will not falter in this love for us. He, and His Son are the perfect example of this Love and it is manifested daily in our lives. How many of these manifestations do we just blow off or miss completely? I know that I do all of the time.
Father thank you for loving us and for giving us the perfect example of Love. Thank you Father for never losing faith, never giving up and for always being hopeful. Thank you for sending your Son to be the beacon of light in our search for Love, Faith, and Hope. Thank you Father. Amen.
