Love is Enduring (1 Cor 13:7)

Love...bears (endures patiently),  all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
AMP: Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].

Psalm 56:8, God bears up our burdens.

We bear with each other in love holds a covering over a relationship
 - bears up with and under
 - Gal 6:1-2, "Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the Law of Christ."
 - Law of the Spirit set us free to love others (Romans 8:2)
 - We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves (Romans 15:1)

Love your neighbor as yourself (Gal 5:14)

All things:
Believes all things, Hopes (Phil 1:6 - He'll finish the work started) all things (Heb 11:1-7) - Faith and hope are intertwined.
 - Think the best, based on positional truth. You are my son, committed to you no matter what.
Hebrews 2:11-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Both Jesus who sanctifies and those who are sanctified [that is, spiritually transformed, made holy, and set apart for God’s purpose] are all from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters, saying,

“I will declare Your (the Father’s) name to My brethren (believers),
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”

Hope's all things
2 Cor 1:7 "our hope for you is unshaken"

Send a message of hope. "why I love God", "why I love you" Some fruit is only visible from heaven.

Love endures all things, never fails (Psalm 118)
Romans 8:37-39 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Yes Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me so

Thank you for helping us walk in love
He washed their feet and opened their minds
