1 Corinthians 13:7 (Amplified Bible) Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
God did not promise that we would not have days in which we would face difficulty. There will always be things to overcome as we rise from faith to faith, and He takes us from glory to glory. What God does promise though, is that through Jesus Christ we are over-comers, more than conquerors, blessed, the head not the tail, above only and not beneath! How does this happen? By acting, operating and walking in love. Love conquers all. Love is not a force that enables you to "bear up under" a situation or circumstance. Love is the power that enables you to rise above the situation and the circumstance! The word translated to "bear" in this verse is the Greek word "stego" which means to "roof over" or "to cover". It implies the thought of "reigning over, to the highest level". Don't let the phrase "bears all things" paint the wrong picture here. In every situation, Love is the power that causes and empowers you to cast down negative thoughts, change your attitude and adjust your actions to the highest degree, so that you are able to rise above and overcome whatever life throws your way. It's what causes your faith and expectation to persevere because the love of God truly does conquer all!
Have A Blessed day
