LOVE…..bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (I Corinthian’s 13:7, KJV) was posted above the check-in counter as I went this morning to pick-up my mammogram films (again) from the Women’s Health Center, I had planned on meditating today on, 2 Timothy 1:7, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”----mainly because of my middle of the night fears about today’s upcoming mammogram. But God……had a deeper verse for me and He had it in LARGE letters where I couldn’t miss it. So, I’ve been reading several translations. The New Living Translation has given me “food for thought” and that’s just what meditation is all about.
- Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (The New Living Translation)
- 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]. (Amplified Bible)
- Puts up with anything,Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. (The Message)
