Does Your Love Always Persevere?

“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away” (1 Corinthians 13:6-8, NIV, emphasis added). 

A couple of months ago, YouVersion posted a song by Kristina Mever entitled: “1 Corinthians 13:4-8”. The goal was to help readers memorize verses of Scripture so that they could remind themselves to walk in love daily. As cheesy as it might sound, I memorized the chunk of Scripture in a little over a day because it was catchy, set to music, and prompted my heart. 

In 1 Corinthians 13, we’re given a lengthy list of what biblical love should look like. We know that God is love, and if we have a personal relationship with Him, that love should radiate through us (1 John 4:7-21). This includes qualities like patience, kindness, goodness, and self-control that Galatians 5:22-23 recalls as the Fruits of the Spirit. These are gifts that God gives to His children.
