1 Corinthians 13 Amplified Bible (AMP) – 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love endures …
Love endures, endurance simply means going through something or a situation is not pleasant or painful in away. The Person who has endured for long is God and Christ Jesus even when He walked the earth. Our God is Holy and there is no trace or a dot of sin with Him, in Him but just see how the planet earth is ruling with wickedness and sin from man.
Look at the death of Jesus, He didn’t take it that easy or simple going to the cross on Calvary but He still did because of you and I. Endurance is not a happy thing. Would you still because you are hungry? Would you get impatient or react because a friend treated you bad? Will you react negatively to your parents because dad or mum, punished you? Endurance is saying, it doesn’t matter what happens, still do the right thing, at the right time and the right way.
God has so endured man, that He is not destroying the earth again like how He did to Sodom and Gomorrah.
The same way we have to live in love, to be able to endure the difficult or tough times of our lives. Would you give in to sex because of food, honey, endure? Would you steal because you are hungry, mehn, endure? Would insult your parents or talk in the face, because they’ve wronged you, Sweet, endure, please.
Love is the only thing which will make endure things, people and situations in life.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, I ask and even thank You for the power You have given me to endure, people, situations and things in this life, amen!
