Ongoing Love

It's somebody's anniversary out there, and I'm celebrating the ongoingness of love. As First Corinthians 13 described love, "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." (verses 7 and 8) An Anniversary seems to be the appropriate place to take note of this. It doesn't say they haven't failed. It doesn't say they their load would be easy. It even tells us they need hope amidst their love. It also discloses they will need to endure many things. It doesn't say they're perfect, or that their love is...but that in the end (even if in the middle it does) their love will not fail, because their love is true and the God they trust is. A non failing love says inspite of all this, I still love you, I'm still here. That's what we celebrate today with this special couple. Standing firm through the trials, hand in hand, with hope and love - enduring.

Thank you for your witness. Thank you for your love. We are all better because of it.
