Addison Road- Always Love

1 Corinthians 13 is probably the best descriptor of love given to us in the Bible, and one that contains most of the challenging parts. Verse eight says, "Love never ends." It's that simple. True love will never die or fade away, unlike what we see so often in marriages that burn to the ground because of an argument or a fight, or because of unfaithfulness. True love looks past the other's faults and sees them through the eyes of God.

For those of you who aren't students here at Cedarville, the last three days in chapel have been our spring Missions Conference. We've been talking about the Lord's Prayer, and how Jesus was telling us to pray through that prayer. Mainly, He wants us to let Him control our lives, and for us to empty ourselves of everything that isn't worthy of thought (think Philippians 4:8 again). I think that when we do that, we will have a greater capacity to love others and forgive them, even if we think they don't deserve it. Forgiveness is the key to this kind of undying love, because without it, bitterness and hate will build up, and that will destroy us from the inside out.
