Love That Lasts

1 Corinthians 13:7 – “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

February tends to spotlight love — cards, dinners, and roses. But lasting love isn’t measured in grand gestures; it’s revealed in daily choices.

Real love is patient when the other person isn’t at their best. It forgives quickly, listens deeply, and chooses grace again tomorrow. It’s not about perfection — it’s about perseverance.

God’s love doesn’t quit when we’re difficult. It keeps showing up. That’s the kind of love we’re invited to give — enduring, faithful, and rooted in grace.

So this month, whether you’re single, married, widowed, or somewhere in between, let love be more than sentiment. Let it be steady.

Reflection questions:

• How can you show love through patience this week?

• Where do you need to offer grace instead of expectation?

• How have you recently experienced God’s unshakable love?
