Christian Devotional – October 15, 2010

VERSE:
1 Corinthians 13:7–love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

TRUTH:
An interesting set of attributes when we realize that bearing and enduring refer to going through struggles and hardship, while believing and hoping refer to seeing the positive. Love bears and endures through the difficulties and wrongs suffered while believing and hoping give us the faith to continue to love those we are having to endure. Do we love people? Really love people as Christ loves us?

RESPONSE:
Lord, help me to love as You love, hoping and enduring, believing and bearing burdens.
