“It always protects...” -1 Corinthians 13:7
What does it mean that love protects? Love is thinking of others’ needs before your own needs. To protect someone is to shield them even at great cost to yourself. Love thinks of others first.
Jesus is the ultimate example of how love protects. We’re all headed to a place of compete separation from God, and Jesus protected us by coming down and making the ultimate sacrifice. He took on the punishment so we wouldn’t have to. That’s a love that protects.
The way Jesus’ love protects us, may it inspire us to do the same for others.
Do you think of others needs before your own? Are you so wrapped up in worrying about your own issues that you never think about the needs of others? Does your love protect others?
