Love bears all things

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. – 1 Corinthians 13.7

Loves bears all things. Love just keeps putting up with stuff. Love isn’t short tempered.

This is one of those keys to making a marriage work. Loves puts up with those little things that could otherwise be annoyances. Love does not overlook sin, that wouldn’t be love at all. Love does however overlook all those little things and minor offences ond slips of the tongue. Love even learns to bear with those little mean words and thoughtless actions. If love can’t overlook those things it responds in a loving way to sort the situation out.

Love never responds in anger or retaliation. Love is able to ‘take it.’ Love does not ignore problems and let them build up till they cause a problem. It knows how to deal with challenges properly, to lay them aside, and to move on.
