PATIENT LOVE


1 CORINTHIANS 13:4A

Patient love is persistent love. It is the kind of love a wife or husband has for their spouse. “For better or for worse” they have chosen to be faithful and remain committed to each other, and this commitment is long-standing.

Patient love also means choosing to love the other person even when you do not feel like it or it is not easy. Even when you have been wronged, you choose to love anyway and not quit because you are tired, frustrated, or hurt. In many ways, patient love is the perfect foundation for the other manner of love Paul goes on to write about in 1 Corinthians 13.

Love takes time – any good relationship does. So stay the course , keep praying and do not give up too soon.
