In our final session, Dr. Scott McKee gathers the threads of 1 Corinthians 13 and shows how love lasts for the long haul: “It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” When our own energy runs thin or our affection feels ordinary, Pastor Scott offers three simple, sustaining practices: remember your mission (you were created to love God and people—trophies and reputations fade, but love endures), recharge your batteries (tend your body with rest, your emotions with wise rhythms of solitude and community, and your soul with Scripture, worship, and a faithful small group), and relinquish your will (daily lay down ego and preference to serve others). Lasting love isn’t about trying harder; it’s about receiving God—who is love—so His life can flow through us to spouses, children, friends, and neighbors. As this 40-day journey concludes, let this conversation become a lifelong pattern: keep your purpose in view, keep refueling, and keep surrendering. The God whose love is everlasting can renew your strength, restore what’s broken, and teach you to love like Jesus—steadfast, hopeful, and unafraid to persevere.
