We have all probably read Paul's words about love in 1 Corinthians 13, but do we really practice it? How far are we willing to go? How long will love last? Listen to him here in verse 7, "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." (NLT)
Thats a lot of love. Does God really expect us to go that far? Never lose faith? Endure every circumsstance? I would challenge you with yes. Of course we know that God is the only one who can show perfect love, but I think we fall way too short way too much of the time.
What if we tried this radical experiment? Love as God loves us, or at least try. What a different life we would all lead. What kind of changes might you and I make? How might the people around us respond? It couldn't hurt, right?
Listen to the words of Peter in 1 Peter 4:8 as I leave you to ponder this radical love.
"Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins." (NLT)
God Bless.
