"Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁵Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁶Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

⁷Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

⁹For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

Devotional Reflection

LovePeaceGratitudeHopeAwe

Always loving is a big request and hard to achieve. God alone is always loving. However, the Holy Spirit gives Christians the power to always love. Paul says elsewhere, "The love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Rom. 5:5). This love is eternal because it is God's love, shown by the sacrifice of Jesus, and given by the Holy Spirit.

Prayer

God, the sweet and glorious, I humbly acknowledge Your limitless capacity for love, the overwhelming need for love in those around me, and my own finite capacity for love. Please infuse my heart with Your Holy Spirit and give me the ability to always love as You do. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Always love – a very lofty order and a pretty tough thing. Only God is always. But then Christians are propelled to an always love by the Holy Spirit! Elsewhere, Paul informs us that "the love of God has been poured out within our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us" (Rom. 5:5). No wonder this love is constant — it is God's love, proven by Jesus' sacrifice, and conveyed by the Holy Spirit!

Prayer

Sweet and glorious God in the sky, I bow down before You because I know Your love is limitless, that everyone around me needs love so much, and that I can only love so much. Please fill my heart with Your Holy Spirit and give me the power to always love like You do. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
