Corinthians 13:7
Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail.
Being persistent, never giving up – how easy is that? When it means sacrificing our own time, comforts, even ways of living, is it worth persisting when we don’t know if the effort will have the right result?
Loving can be hard work, and so can having faith, being hopeful and patient. This is a serious challenge.
Loving God, your persistence is our model but yet it often seems so far beyond our abilities to replicate.
Your love persists no matter how we choose to listen or act. Help us to keep going even in the face of apathy and opposition. Strengthen our faith, fill us with hope and renew our patience so that we might be loving followers of Jesus today and every day.
