Quotes

Blogging everyday in May: Day Four is such an inspiration to me. I LOVE quotes! I have hundreds of them pinned on pinterest, written on facebook, and hanging in my room that it is hard for to decide which ones are my favorite. Reason being is that in different points of my life, each quote or saying held a special place in my heart.

I would have to say this bible verse is my all time-favorite "quote" if you will. It is a representation of my sorority and what we stand for as well as an inspiration to my daily life.

"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres,
Love never fails."
- 1st Corinthians 13:7-8

This bible verse is my absolute favorite because it describes not only a love that many people search for in this world, but most importantly the love Jesus Christ has for his children (us). I can't think of a love that has never failed, and maybe that is because I have never been in love before. However, the love that Jesus has for myself and others never fails. No matter what I do, no matter how bad I have messed up or will mess up, or how sinful I am being, his love never fails. 

Think of it this way, think of someone who has hurt you beyond repair. Someone who has messed up so bad that is almost or is beyond you to forgive them and mend the relationship. Well we do this to God on a daily basis by our sinful nature, yet his love never fails. Imagine looking into the eyes of this person who has hurt you and loving them with your whole heart that no matter what that person did, you love them regardless. 

That my friends is true love, and that is the love Jesus has for all :)
