“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:6-8 NIV
Delighting in evil sounds like a horror film or some halloween madness !!! I think though that it really is pointing to the deception of our hearts and flesh. The heart is deceptive beyond all other. Motives are what reveals truth. Rejoicing in truth even when it hurts and is painful will bring life and love.
Protects - I hope that people that really love me will protect me. Protect my heart, my physical body and my reputation. Love others by protecting them.
Hope - if we have no hope, we have nothing. We must not give up even in the darkest moments. Love hopes. God is love so he brings hope to our lives. Don't give up.
Perseveres - This word! Let's get ahold of being strong in the Lord and never giving up hope so that others will see us win and know our God does that kind of work!!! Testify of his love by persevering.
Never fails -This truth has to be real because if not I'm in trouble. I fail a lot. I worry about failing a lot. Love covers a multitude of sin and it rights wrongs. It does not fail.
Let love lead and your soul breathe!
