Love (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Love                                                                                        Day 22

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
1 Corinthians 13:8

The love of a parent towards a child is unique. Through ups and downs, successes and failures, and all types of circumstances, parents tend to continue loving their child, no matter the child’s indiscretions. This power of love can be seen in God’s love towards us.

Paul writes that the spiritual gift of love never fails and persists through various circumstances. Prophecies, tongues, and knowledge may fail or no longer be necessary. God’s love towards us, however, is everlasting.

So, why don’t we take the time to have an ongoing love toward others? Through love, we have the opportunity to help others in need, to seek peace with enemies, and to rebuild relationships. Love can serve as an unfailing engine for us to do God’s will.

Because the gift of love never fails, there is comfort in knowing that God’s love for us will always prevail. Therefore, let us remember that no matter the circumstances and no matter our failings, there will always be an opportunity for us to show love to others. Because we know that love never fails, let us not fail to love.
