♥️🎯👉patient love look like in the day-to-day trenches of parenthood🦾🔨
⭕The Father in the Luke 15 parable of the prodigal son provides us with the perfect paradigm. When his son chooses the prodigal path, the father knows better than to bind him up or bear down on him with harsh words, for what good would that do to a wayward heart? Instead, he holds out all that he has to his son in perfect sacrificial love, even when that precious gift is not valued. And then, he waits. Patiently, he loves his son until the day the prodigal returns, heart softened. The Father’s patient love is then poured out in a festal celebration on his boy, at last restored to a rightful relationship

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
