The MSG version just describes it well. It is hard to follow stuff in the bible but it is necessary since it is the manual for earthly existence and there's no situation that man needs answer for that isn't represented in the bible. No shakes babay. (FAQ dey bible sef)
Read it again. The part that did my head in was " love never gives up" and "puts up with anything". Ah!!! These verses have changed my perspective.
When most of us are getting married, and we get some opposition from either family or friends, we first shout "I love him or her" but then when small storm comes, we fly off the handle and shout about how you can't take this no more. If you ever loved this person you won't give up on them. They are your assignment on earth that's why God made the union possible. Pastor O say na LONG SUFFERING but if you do it on your knees, it will be well worth it in the end.
In the ESV version, a part says 'love believes all things', so even when your bobo comes home late, your instincts scream he's been up to no good, but he says it was traffic, if you love him, nne believe him then trust God to turn things around. After all, He has the DNA of God in him, sooner than later, He will be reset to factory settings.
Would you give up on your son? Would you want his wife to give up on him? Don't give up on your husband.
Far from easy it is, but love is also patient. See Christianity can also be called being a Mumu. See Jesus na, he could have called fire upon all those roman soldiers flogging Him, ( after all uncle Elijah did it) but He was teaching us something, teaching us that we should keep our eyes on the end game because that's where the victory is.
When a strange woman enters your home, pray, do the mumucious things, pray some more, do more mumucious things, pray some more, pray much more, pray the strangeness out of the woman, Mumucious like smiling when he comes home late, like still giving him food, like letting him still be boss of his house.
It is NOT EASY! Especially when you are right, but the end game babay, keep your eyes on the end game.
(Every strange woman in the marriage of any one who reads this msg, when she comes near ya bobo may she see his face like the pic below) #runsandhides
Stoop to conquer.
No one is allowed to take your place in life, not in career, business, or marriage.
Do not hold your peace.
Choose your fight with wisdom.
Consult the bible constantly.
October is my month o, good things happen to me in October.
Command the month of October, roar at the gates of October, what is yours won't pass you by.
In this month of double grace, recieve grace to live in the supernatural.
Take back all you've lost from the enemy.
Most importantly, love like never before.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
