Love never fails. It was a message I kept seeing when I was in Melbourne last week. There were 50,000+ Jehovah witnesses attending a conference and their lanyards had this written on it. Again, the concept sounds great and is correct. The practice is somewhat different. Too much of my focus is around fear, which is not quite the opposite of love but is in opposition to it.
I also saw the word ‘Love’ on many other things that week, proof that I am surrounded by love, if I choose to see it and allow it in.
It reminds me of a well known biblical passage that I clearly need to focus on:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
