Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 42: Today, I am grateful love is persistent.
A list of “Great Quotes on Love” included this quote:
“True love isn’t perfect; it’s patient, kind, and persistent.”
It is borrowed from scripture.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Corinthian 13:4-7
There is so much to unpack in that one little chapter. We can spend a lifetime trying to get it right. We are never perfect, but we cannot give up on love.
What is true love? It is a perfect commitment to an imperfect person. Love is strengthened by gratitude and grace.
We do not have to be married to experience the joy of true love. It was shown to us by Jesus in the most incredible way.
“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” -Romans 5:8
Before we loved him, He loved.
Love bears all things and does not give up. Love bore all things on a cross… where He waits to cover us with his love by His blood.
Today, I am grateful love is persistent.
