Here is the final installment from Lavondilyn on love
Love trusts. Love
believes God! When we truly love others, we can give them over to God
and trust His sovereignty. We don't have to lead with fear or doubt. We
can trust God's provision, protection and power in every situation. You
truly can delight yourself in the Lord and commit your way to Him and trust that He will bring whatever it is you desire to pass. Perfect love casts out fear!
Love hopes. When
we love, we never lose sight of the possibilities! Love allows us to be
positive and truly believe that all things are possible through Christ.
With love, it's not a matter of "if" but, "when". There's always hope in love!
Love perseveres. True
love doesn't allow us to quit - it's persistent and full of faith. When
it seems like "it won't work" or "it's impossible", love stays
committed and keeps moving forward. It endures until the end. Love never
gives up!
Love never fails. It's the one thing we can always count on. Love never
fails. Everything else may die and fall away, but love lasts forever.
There are no conditions which can make it null and void. There is
nothing which can break its strength. It covers a multitude of sins and
it breaks every yoke. It cannot fail.
So, now can you recognize
love? Can you give it? This passage in 1Cor 13 should be our measuring
stick - it should help us to determine whether we are truly loving those
in our lives and whether or not they are truly loving us. It should
serve as a tool to help us align ourselves and our relationships with
the Word of God. The better able we are to do that, the better the
quality of our lives and our relationships will be.
Has it registered to you that all of the descriptors above describe how God treats you? That should come as no surprise... God is Love and whoever lives in love, lives in God and God in him. (1Jn4:16)
