I Corinthians 13:7 “It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” Out of 9 words, 4 are the word–always–.  Consistency dominates.  You and I cannot show love once and then expect love traits to be dominate in our lives.  You and I must be consistent.  Protection, trust, hope and perseverance are traits which define you and me constantly–always–.  Anyone who knows you or me and is either loved by you or me or who loves you or me has no doubt of the passion owned when the thought of love exists.  That thought is true in our relationship with each other and in our relationship with our Heavenly Father and in His relationship with us.
