#3686 – LOVE Always Trusts

Good morning people who have a confident hope in Jesus Christ

1 Corinthians 13:7 NIV It (LOVE) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

The challenge we face is, that at times, we handle the Word of God incorrectly. You can read a verse like the one above and wrongly conclude, “If I want to LOVE people, I must trust everyone”. This is not what it means, and not everyone can be trusted.

In context, the word ‘trust’ here means: ‘to have faith, to entrust (especially one’s spiritual well-being to Christ), believe, be committed unto, to be persuaded’.

Jesus Christ was able to fulfil His Father’s will for His life because He always trusts His Father. Jesus is LOVE and the Father is LOVE, and there is a deep mutual trust between them that has never been broken. It’s this type of trust that 1 Corinthians 13:7 talks about.

As we live in Father’s LOVE, I believe we are empowered to trust His LOVE …always. Life can be exceptionally difficult at times, but my prayer today is: “Father, may we deeply know Your LOVE today, and as a result, may we have unwavering trust in You.”
