How incredible is this thing called love.
It is the most powerful force in all the world.
Nothing can defeat it.
Love bears. Love bears, always protecting. Love is like a rising tide that covers all the debris on the beach.
Love believes. Love always believes the best. Love covers and in that covering believes for all good things.
Love hopes. Love holds out hope for the future against all odds. It is not just wishful thinking, but a sure anchor in the promises of God.
Love endures. Love overcomes every obstacle. It endures anything and everything with patience and joy. Love keeps on loving no matter what happens.
Love covers sin and in that covering believes for all good things and has hope for a good outcome as it endures with patience because it trusts in the great Lord over all things.
This love is so incredible that words fail. It is far beyond our understanding yet we pray and yearn to know this love and to experience it. It is a gift of His Spirit. Let us come boldly and confidently into God's presence and ask for this love to be reproduced in us and let us declare:
I will bear up under all my circumstances. I will believe all his promises. I will hope for all good things. I will endure through everything because I know love will win in the end.
Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should,
how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.
May you experience the love of Christ,
though it is too great to understand fully.
Then you will be made complete
with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
Eph 3:17-19 (NLT)
