"Love beareth all things" 1Cor.13:7
When the King James Version puts "Bears all things", it may paint a picture of an over tolerant character which never raises objection to anything; which never expresses any form of displeasure to anything and so on. This is not what it means. New Living Translation gives us better understanding of this character "Love never GIVES UP"
If God does not bear things with us or gives up on us, how many people on earth will ever come to salvation?
O comrade, never give up on that neighbour to whom you have preached severally with no inch of change in him; never give up on that child you have trained to the best of your ability which is yet not changing; never give up on anyone. Rather, let the love of God shed abroad in your heart push you to your knees until they're saved, until their lives bring forth fruit meet for repentance.
May the grace sufficient enough to help us bear with others and never give up on them come on us in Jesus' name.
Shalom.
