The Bereans' Commentary
Studying the bible for love, and with integrity
Love Builds a Roof, pt. 2
Good day, Kingdom Queens.
I want to offer a supporting view of 1 Corinthians 13:7 — “Love beareth all things.” We know now that to bear is to roof over and to cover with silence.
It’s a beautiful moment when we realize we have no obligation to respond to everything, to make our point, or to convince another of our position. It’s a sweet peace to know who we are in Christ, and allow divine selection to extend to us picking our battles.
Consider Proverbs 14:1 —
Every wise woman builds up her home, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands (CJB).
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down (ESV).
Let’s drop this verse in the context of our love walk. It takes wisdom to know how to build. And, it takes love to fuel the building process, especially in those times when we feel some kind of way about the people in our “house”. While we invest in the structure and inner workings of our house, let’s remember the roof! Let’s prepare to bear…all things.
Selah, and love to all.
Join us on the line tomorrow at 8PM Central (9pm Eastern) for the “30 Minutes to Love” prayer time for women’s hearts and love walks. Conference line: (862) 902-0241, code: 6360503.
