How love strengthens sacrifice, overcomes fear, and builds endurance…
We tend to underestimate the role love plays in fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.
That’s because we often think of love as a feeling or a way to care for others.
But it’s so much more.
Love is a driving force.
It gives strength to keep going through all kinds of difficulty.
Love enables sacrifice.
It pushes us to set aside personal comfort for the sake of others.
Just as Jesus modeled:
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)
Love overcomes fear.
Like fear of failure, fear of loss, fear of rejection.
Love shifts our focus outward—toward God’s mission and the people we’re called to serve.
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.” (1 John 4:18)
Love builds patience and endurance.
It keeps you steady in the face of slow progress, frequent irritations, and perplexing challenges.
Love reminds us why persevering matters.
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
By keeping love at the center, you can do a lot more than you think.
Let love fuel your purpose.
Let it anchor your calling.
Through tireless love, you’ll serve God–and those around you–best.
