Love Never Gives Up

Scripture

1 Corinthians 13

7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Observation

1 Corinthians 13 is a great chapter to read this morning because it is the chapter that we are focusing on during our 40 Days of Love Campaign. I love verse 7, "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Two words jump out at me from this verse, the word "never" and the word "always".

Those are two words that we pretty much can't use honestly because we don't keep our promises like God does. I can say that I will never do something, but I probably eventually will do it. I could say that "I would never murder someone" and maybe I would never physically murder someone but what about in my mind. I could say that I will always love the Lord, but then there will probably be times when my actions reveal just the opposite.

But with God His "never" and His "always" are sure things. You can substitute "Jesus Christ" or God in the place of "love" in this chapter because God is love.

Application

I want to live so close to the Lord today that people see the love of Christ in me.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You never give up, You never lose faith, You are always hopeful, and You endure through every circumstance. Help me to live out this verse and this chapter today.
