Today's devotion (2/14/07): 1 Corinthians 13:7

"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres", 1 Cor. 13:7, NIV

The "it" in this verse is love... a perfect scripture for Valentine's Day. Oh, if we could only stop in the midst of things and repeat this verse to ourselves quietly, really getting its meaning... "...always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"...

We had this verse read at our wedding as many others have and after the years, you start forget the depth of its meaning. If everything we did was done with this level of love-- remembering to trust God to be in control of our marriage and family, always hoping for the best outcome, always persevering-- even when it gets tough... that is the true meaning of love... imagine how strong our homes would be.
