Read: 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
A few years ago, my friends mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers disease. Since then, Beth has been forced to make tough decisions about her moms care, and her heart has often been broken as she watched her vibrant and fun-loving mom slowly slipping away. In the process, my friend has learned that real love is not always easy or convenient.
After her mom was hospitalized for a couple of days last year, Beth wrote these words to some of her friends: As backwards as it may seem, Im very thankful for the journey I am on with my mom. Behind the memory loss, confusion, and utter helplessness is a beautiful person who loves life and is at complete peace. I am learning so much about what real love is, and even though I probably wouldnt have asked for this journey and the tears and heartache that go with it, I wouldnt trade it for anything.
The Bible reminds us that love is patient and kind. It is not self-seeking or easily angered. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (1 Cor. 13:4-7).
Real love originated with our Father, who gave us the gift of His Son. As we seek to show His love to others, we can follow the example of Christ, who laid down His life for us (1 John 3:16-18).
