To persevere means to continue in the course of action even when you are facing difficulty. Never give up. No matter what the circumstance is, I am going to do the will of my Father who is in heaven. Love always perseveres, not giving up. Not doing my own will, but the will of God, whatever it takes to put in place the will of God in my life.
What did I mean, when I say whatever it takes to do the will of God?
Because Jesus Christ did what he had to do for us, He persevered on the cross, so we can have life.
Whatever it takes. What causes me to stumble or fall short; I must get rid of. Discernment from the Lord is very important. We need to know what is pure and what is impure.
Matthew 5:29 Jesus tells us If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It's better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Love always perseveres, you are willing to do whatever it takes to do God's
Matthew 22:36-37 They ask Jesus, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Love always perseveres. Despite the difficulty I am going to remain obedient to the Lord, It is written in John 14:15-21 that Jesus tells us.
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.
But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Despite the difficulty, I am going to remain obedient to the Lord. Because Love always perseveres.
