Our culture loves the idea of love, but we don’t have to dig deep to see just how shallow the understanding of walking in significant relationship with others is. We looked at how scripture defines love last week as we considered the reality that love is difficult. This has caused many to determine that when a relationship requires “too much” patience, or kindness, or forgiveness, that maybe it wasn’t really love anyway. The truth is love works, but it takes work. 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:3 will guide us.
