There’s No Doubt About It
Love is inconvenient
Before it can be a noun
it must be a verb
And yet
if you don’t love
when it’s inconvenient
you don’t love at all
“Love suffers long, it is kind and does not envy…it is not easily provoked and keeps no record of wrongs. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. It never fails. Only three things will last forever: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
~1 Corinthians 13:4-13

I love this Mitch!
Sadly it took me 30 years to realize my ex-husband never loved me or our children. It required to much of him and he never wanted to be inconvenienced by having to give of himself. Thank you for the insight.
I hear you sister, you’re not alone in this
🧡
Beautiful reminder. Real love always costs us something, and that’s exactly why it reveals the Kingdom. Convenience never produces Christlikeness—but sacrificial love does. Grateful for this call back to the kind of love that bears, believes, hopes, and endures.
Thank you for your thoughtful reflection, Michael. 🧡
Thanks for sharing, Mitch.
My privilege, Andrew.
Love covers a multitude of sins…Love is what our faith is all about.
Exactly, Pamela.
And the age old question remains…is it better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all?
Indeed, Kathy.
Beautiful!
Thank you, Sashie. 🧡
Interesting I also posted about love early this morning.
It’s the ultimate topic.
Always bears repeating.
Lovely
Thank you, Mark.
Great insight expressed with few words. Well done, Mitch!
Thank you, dear friend.
Isn’t that the truth!
My husband and I are celebrating our 50th anniversary soon and can attest to this being absolutely true. Thank you, Mitch.
Aw, bless you both, Cindie❣
Congratulations! Happy anniversary! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. 🙂
So true!

Oh goodness. This! This has inspired me and given me an idea for a poem. Thanks so much. When I post it I’ll backlink to this post. So beautiful your words. I love the inconvenience of what love is grammatically. It made me smile. Thank you so much 😊
My privilege, Selma. 🧡
Such a beautiful reminder that love is something we choose over and over, especially when it’s inconvenient. That’s often where its depth is revealed. 🤍

Thankyou for this Mitch.
I’m going to copy this and credit you of course 😁.
Yes, Mitch. Actually, when it costs you comfort, it counts.
So true!!
Of course it is, Mitch.
It’s just I post so rarely that I thought a nice coincidence.
Beautiful, Mitch!
Thank you, Peggy. 🧡
