Charity…beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. – 1 Corinthians 13:7
He that loveth is born of God, and he that is born of God loveth. He loveth Him that begat, even God, and he loveth him that is begotten of Him, even all the saved ones. He commences to obey the great command to love his neighbour as himself…No sooner is love born than she finds herself at war. Everything is against her, for the world is full of envy, hate, and ill-will. I would warn the most loving-hearted that they have entered upon a war for peace, a strife for love: they are born to hate hatred, and to contend against contention. As the lily among thorns, so is love among the sons of men. As the hind among the dogs, so is charity among the selfish multitude.
Evidently the difficulties of love are many…For, my brother, you will have to contend with all that is within yourself. Nothing in your original nature will help you. God has put within you a new life, but the old life seeks to smother it…Besides that, you will have to contend with “all things” in the persons whom you are called upon to love. You must have fervent charity towards the saints, but you will find very much about the best of them which will try your patience for, like yourself, they are imperfect…As for the ungodly whom you are to love to Christ, you will find everything in them that will oppose the drawings of your love, for they, like yourself, by nature are born in sin, and they are rooted in their iniquities…(Y)ou will have to contend with “all things” in the world, for the world lieth in the wicked one, and all its forces run towards self, and contention, and hate…And then remember that “all things” in hell are against you. What a seething mass of rebellious life, all venomous with hate, is seen in the regions of darkness…See, O my brother, what a battle is yours! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
