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.
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.
Thanks for sharing, Mitch.
Love covers a multitude of sins…Love is what our faith is all about.
