(Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:7

Today you are invited to consider how these characteristics are present in your life. Which ones do you struggle with?  Is it easier to protect some people (or things) than others?  Who do you not trust?  Where do you lack hope, and where do you want to give up because there are few signs of results?  Speak to God about these things.  What will help you to live closer to the statements Paul makes in this verse?  Who can you go to for advice and encouragement?  Ask God to guide you today.

May God help you to protect others, to trust Him and those around you with wisdom, to hope in Him and to persevere in the calling He has made on your life.
