1 Corinthians 13:7
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1 Corinthians 13:8
Charity never faileth…….
Paul begins wrapping up the description of love given to him by the Holy Spirit here. All things…repeated four times in this verse. Really, we can just see here how Paul is more or less saying that love is all things. Does that sound familiar? Remember all the law and prophets hanging on love?
Love bears all things. Not that love just puts up with things and gets shoved around. Love bears all the transgressions of others OUT of love.
Love believes all things. Love is not gullible. Love looks for the best in people. Of course we are all sinners, but we don’t need to be looking for the sin. Trust and believe people.
Love hopes all things. As long as the tie that binds us to Jesus Christ is present, and it always is once there…then there is hope for every person. Jesus never gives up on us and we do not need to give up on our brothers and sisters.
Love endures all things. Even when all of the above have disappointed us, we keep on keeping on. Why do we do that? Because in the end, love never fails. Why does it not? God is love; God never fails.
What’s next? Not sure yet, but hopefully will get it sorted out before the day ends!

Fine so far. I have been doing some work in the yard off and on while the flooring crew is working. I don’t think my knees could take that, I’ve done it before but it’s been years.

Flooring is hard on the knees, that’s why those guys have the really good knee pads.

“Love endures all things”. That’s such a great statement Wally, speaks to many areas.

It does doesn’t it, Tricia? Often a single sentence is full of so much meaning, and I think that is one of them if we only take the time to digest and act on it. Thanks!

This sentence really ministered to me: “Love bears all the transgressions of others OUT of love.”

Well, even as it came out of my mind, the significance staggered me even, Don.
It’s exactly as our Lord did for us, therefore how can we not?
Ouch eh?
