#3689 – LOVE Perseveres

Good morning people who never give up on God or what He says

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

Sometimes, we need to ‘just keep on going’. I wish there was an easier way, but sometimes there isn’t.

One of the underlying spirits of this age is ‘instant gratification’, which says, “I want what I want, and I want it now…oh, and with no effort or expense to me!”

This is not God’s way.

Perseverance is a godly trait – as long as it is ‘perseverance in the right direction’.

Stubbornly persevering in the wrong direction is no good for anyone, but stubbornly persevering in the right direction no matter what is something that very much pleases God and produces results.

That said, sometimes the results look different than what we are looking for or than what we want. Sometimes the results are not ‘outcomes that we want’, but ‘character that God wants’ (James 1:2-4).

God doesn’t give up on us; He perseveres – and we are called to do the same.
