Love with no limits

Love has no limits. Love never says, “You’ve gone too far. I can’t love you now.” “All things” means everything is included. Christ-like love leaves no doubt in the mind of another that you will continue to love no matter what. Do those close to you know that they can fail and do stupid things, yet you will not falter in your love for them? Are others assured that, even when they hurt you, you still love them, holding nothing against them?

Perry Wm. Bell

    Love assumes the best about others, and here is the difference it could make in you. If someone inadvertently offends you, you choose to believe the offense was unintentional. If someone seeks to harm you, you “bear all things,” forgiving unconditionally. If a positive light can be shed on a difficult encounter, you grasp it. If someone continually provokes you, you “endure all things.” You never lose hope in the ones you love. You practice the same unconditional love toward others that Christ gives to you.
    Paul said that if he didn’t have God’s love, then he was nothing. It didn’t mater if he had the faith to move mountains, the tongue of an angel, and the gift of prophecy to understand all mysteries, without God’s love... he was nothing.
    It is unacceptable to say, “Well, I just can’t love people that way.” When God loves people through you, this is the only kind of love He has.
