“...always hopes...” -1 Corinthians 13:7
What does it mean that love always hopes? It means that love doesn’t write people off as unredeemable. We all have people in our lives that we think, “Wow, this person is pretty bad, will he or she ever change?” God’s power to change hearts and transform people is bigger than our sinful natures.
That’s why love hopes. Love can only hope because it rests upon the power of God. It hopes to change the worse sinner to a lover of God and a lover of people. The Apostle Paul once persecuted Christians and even watched them get murdered. God took Paul and transformed him to become the greatest missionary who has ever lived. Paul wrote more books in the New Testament than anyone else. Love always hopes.
Think about someone in your life you can’t stand. Now pray for yourself and then pray for this person. Ask God to help you love this person. Ask God to use his power to change this person’s life.
Love always hopes.
