Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

– 1 Corinthians 13:7, NLT

To build lasting relationships, you need love in the equation. Love is the cornerstone of relationships that endure. The Apostle Paul rolls out the attitude of love as being patient, kind, forgiving, trustworthy, and resolute. To build great relationships, it is not merely about showing an emotion but making deliberate choices — a choice to prioritize the well-being and growth of the other person.

Enhancing communication is vital in nurturing lasting connections. Open and honest communication builds trust and understanding, strengthening the foundation of the relationship. Additionally, showing forgiveness and grace fosters a spirit of reconciliation and growth, allowing relationships to overcome challenges and thrive.

Commitment is another crucial aspect of lasting relationships. It involves being present, faithful, and dedicated to the relationship, even in the face of adversity. Through commitment, relationships weather storms and emerge stronger, standing as a testament to the exponential power of love.

Insight: Cultivate the qualities of love that nurture relationships that stand the test of time.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me to love others as You have loved me.
