It's so easy to start something (like starting a blog), but its another thing trying to see it through to its completion.
This is the same when it comes to showing love to one another.
So often we do a good deed here and another there, we helped someone in need once, and we talked to someone who needed a friend. We tend to think that this is sufficient, that this is all we need to do, however, we need to persevere and continue in love all the time. No matter how difficult it may be and how little love we receive in return, we must continue to love in all things.
As the author of Hebrews says: "Let brotherly love continue." (Hebrews 13:1) May it never cease.
The chapter on love, 1 Corinthians 13, states this clearly too. "Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will fail; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away." (13:8)
If love will not fail, then we must not fail in loving.
