Love 13.7d
(My back yard, after the wedding )
What is “love?” 1 Corinthians 13.7d says that love “always perseveres.”
Love hangs on. It doesn’t give up on people. Love has staying power. Though others leave, love stays. After the tornado hits, love remains. Love keeps pushing for the God-outcome. Love’s a friend who is always faithful. Love never leaves nor forsakes. Love doesn’t shoot the wounded. Love embraces and won’t let go. Love never lets go. Love sees the possibilities of God and looks to them. Love is purpose-driven. Love never says “I’ve had it with you.” Love says, “With God, all things are possible.” You’ve never had a real friend until you’ve had a friend who loves like this. Even death can’t stop love. Love never takes a time out from persevering. Love always perseveres.
