Strength comes in infinite forms. Some with power in arms; in the flesh; in might; in wisdom; with speaking; in logic; the ability to create. The dimensions of strength are endless. But one of the greatest forms of strength in life is endurance. For through endurance, every aspect of strength is achieved. Endurance builds and binds all forms of strength, for with it and through it, strength is received.
With every strength, it will continually get stronger with endurance because growth is inevitable with persistence. You will know; you will understand, you will reach new ground, as time and persistence will allow it.
For even in strength, whether with knowledge, incite, intelligence, beauty, people in numbers, if any of them ceases to endure, then it has already reached its limit. Strength halts and has lost its impact. The ability to grow has fled. Even if that life continues and remains in the world, its value has been reached in terms of its strength and can no longer gain strength; therefore, that life has become weak; weak to strengthening and weak to growing. That life and element is then formed and named for what it is and what it has become. So long as it stays the same, its name remains to value its worth. The remedy to this condition is endurance. For with endurance your limited vessel will be filled and you will realize that you are limited and weak. Your body will begin to expand and begin to fracture at its ends, or overflow with the abundance of your efforts because you endured. Then you seek new strengths and new limits.
Even the unlimited, unyielding power of love which penetrates every being, has no strength or reaches its limits if it fails to endure.
Love is the most powerful, yet most delicate form of strength. As soon as love bends even a little or diminishes slightly, its affect is immediately felt and the course of life is immediately changed.
The fluctuation of love in terms of strength has the ability to heal, nurture,replenish, support, give life, and yield joy, while also leaving one to question, weep, yearn, neglect, and doubt.
Love in so many ways determines the outcome of every circumstance.
The one intrigue of love that separates its value and strength from any other device, invention, thought, or feeling within us or around us, is that with and through love, love does endure. If you love, you will endure. Even when it seems as though your love fades, gives rise to doubt, or appears absent, if your love endures you will find peace and the truth that embodies it and life.
Love is the great endurance; endurance is to love. This is why there is no match against love. Love finds a way into and through everything.
Since God has endured for us all; how great is God's love, our Love, our Great Endurance.
