Love is not just a feeling—it is a choice that presses through the ups and downs of life. Whatever happens in life, always make sure to love. True love endures through challenges, misunderstandings, and hardships, holding firm even when circumstances try to shake it. Whether in marriage, friendships, or family, love that stands the test of time is love that reflects God’s heart.
1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us, “Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures” (NCV). This kind of love does not give up at the first sign of struggle but continues to press forward, believing in the good that God is working. Love that lasts is love that leans on Him.
Keep love at the core of your life. Choose patience when it’s hard, forgiveness when it hurts, and kindness when it’s undeserved. Love pressed through is love that changes lives.
