The Foundation of Love - Pastor Ekpenyong

1 Corinthians 13:4TPT

Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.

The foundation of anything is very important and deserves to be properly scrutinized, because the integrity of the structure starts at the foundation.

The foundation of perfect and unconditional love is patience. “Love patiently endures mistreatment” could mean that love is incredibly patient even in difficult relationships.

Patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.

The capacity to endure and wait out the desired change of a loved one is what characterizes unfeigned love.

This is the demonstration of Abba's love in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

The patience of love enables a steadfast friendly disposition that preserves a relationship whilst undergoing the transformation of the Holy Spirit's conviction.

It is so beautiful and humbling to see the fruits of the patience of love because they are enduring, true and faithful.

Both the practitioner and recipient of the patience of love are greatly changed, preserved and blessed in unbelievable dimensions.

Glory!
