Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Corinthians 13:7)
One characteristic of authentic love is hope. God in His great love never gets tired of giving us second chances. He always thinks the best of us, always encourages us, and patiently waits for us to love Him and others more. When we have forgotten or neglected, He yearns for us to return so He can restore our relationship with Him. He promises that when we truly learn to love, we will always have hope.
Lord, thank you for all your blessings! Lord do not let me be so quick to give up on people, give me the strength to show the same hope as You show me. In Jesus name, Amen!
Have a great week,
