Loyalty in Love

Trust & Loyalty

Scripture

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

“Love is patient, love is kind... It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Devotion

Loyalty is expressed through love. You are loyal to those you love: you protect them, you trust them, you hope for them, you persevere with them. Scripture teaches that love does these things always. True love is not conditional on whether the other person deserves it or returns it. It is a commitment. Loyalty in love means staying, believing, hoping, and persevering even when it is difficult. This is what God does for us. This is what we are called to do for each other.

Today’s Step

Who needs your loyal love today? How can you protect, trust, hope, and persevere with them? Show up as a loyal love.

Prayer

God, help me to love with loyalty. Help me to protect, trust, hope, and persevere with those I love. Help me to be faithful and true. Help me to love as You love me.
