Love Believes All Things, from Our Daily Bread

2009-09-27T00:13:06Z

[Love] believes all things, hopes all things. --1 Corinthians 13:7

It was 40 years ago or more that I observed a friend of mine showing great affection for someone I considered unworthy of love. I thought my friend was being taken in, and I was afraid he would be disillusioned and saddened in the end.

]]> When I expressed my concern, he replied, "When I stand before my Lord, I hope He'll say of me that I've loved too many, rather than too few." I've never forgotten his words.

Paul insists that "[love] believes all things" (1 Cor. 13:7). Love "believes" in people. It can see the potential in them. It believes that God can take the most unattractive and unworthy individual and turn that person into a masterpiece of beauty and grace. If love errs, it must err in the way of trustfulness and hopefulness.

Certainly, we must be aware of danger when we see it coming, and become "as wise as serpents" (Matt. 10:16). Tough love may be the best response to irresponsible and foolish people, but we can be too guarded, too wary and distrustful.

It doesn't do us any real harm to be hoodwinked and defrauded (Matt. 5:38-48). It's better to believe in someone and have your heart broken than to have no heart at all. British poet Alfred Tennyson wrote, " 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." I agree. -- David H. Roper

Lord, help us to believe in people
And all that in them You can do,
So we can say we've loved too many,
Rather than too few. --Sper

Love looks beyond what people are to what they can become.

Dallas, TX (September 25, 2009) - Gospel Light Society (GLS), is a new online ministry that is answering the call to bring the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ "to the ends of the earth".

Using the power of internet technology, ministry volunteers will be paired with those who accept Christ as Saviour so that they can continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

]]> With a goal of seeing 3 million people come to Christ, over 30 new websites will be going live within the coming months.

These sites will be translated into over 30 foreign languages, reaching over 6 billion people around the world.

GLS encourages Christians to share their conversion testimonies, either by writing or by video, with people seeking answers to their spiritual questions. Whether the visitors are non-believers or have some form of religion, the mission of GLS is to bring all people into the light of Jesus Christ.

GLS seeks the prayer partnership of other Christians and the support of ministry volunteers to engage with individuals right from their computer, and to provide prayer, guidance, and encouragement to new Christians. Through www.GospelLightSociety.com, Christians can leanrn more about becoming prayer partners or ministry volunteers.
