US AGAINST THE WORLD: Biblical LoveSample

Key Verse: “Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6

Devotional: 

From David: Love does not delight in evil, which means love does not look for a payback. Love doesn’t hope that something is done wrong so that God can teach them a lesson. Love doesn’t pray that they lose their job so that they can spend more time at home with the kids. Love doesn’t wish evil on your spouse or anyone else in your family, because, ultimately, love is going to make sacrifices without looking for a return.

From Tamela: Love always protects, so anytime my spouse is in harm’s way, I vow to cover him. Love always trusts—and this is hard, particularly when trust has been broken—but love is willing to rebuild even after the walls have been torn down. Love always believes in the best version of their spouse. Love always encourages their spouse to believe in themselves. Love always hopes that tomorrow will be a brighter today, and love always perseveres. On the good days and on the bad days, love is there to stay.
