Series: LOVE BUILDS UP!

BELIEVE YOU ME!

I Corinthians 13:7

Love always trusts...

Believes all things:   When love has no evidence, it believes the best.

Hopes all things:      When the evidence is adverse, it hopes the best.

Endures all things:   And when hopes are repeatedly disappointed, it still courageously waits.

As love prompts us to believe the best, we become engaged in what is best.
