LOVE NEVER FAILS<\/strong>
1 Corinthians 13:8<\/strong> says \u201cLove never fails.\u201d<\/strong> A biblical statement emphasizing the enduring
nature of love. Unlike other things in life that come to an end or end up in disappointment,
love remains steadfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Apostle Paul speaks of the love selfless and unconditional love<\/strong> encompassing
compassion, kindness, patience, and forgiveness. It\u2019s not a fleeting feeling but a
deliberate choice to prioritize the well-being of others. This type of love has the power to
overcome<\/strong> any challenge even while strengthening relationships. It brings healing,
understanding, and unity. Love is a transformative force<\/strong> that inspires us to become better
versions of ourselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Illus: When 4-year-old Emma first learned the significance of numbers, she sweetly told her
mother, \u201cMama, I love you 10 times.\u201d<\/strong> Then, after a few moments of deep thought, she said,
\u201cMama, I love you 20 times!\u201d<\/strong> Again, after a short pause, she said in breathless tones, \u201cI
love you 700 times!\u201d<\/strong> Mom then gave Emma a grateful kiss and huge hug, which then
inspired the child\u2019s final outburst: \u201cMommy, I love you more than all the numbers!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The challenge is to cultivate<\/strong> this kind of love! The verse is an invitation to practice love in
our relationships, whether it\u2019s with our family, friends, neighbors, or even those we
disagree with. Love has the power to break down barriers – it has the power to transform
lives and make a lasting impact! Here\u2019s an expansive, interpretive translation of 1 Cor.13:8<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cLove never fails: it never quits, never surrenders, and never gives up; Love never
disappoints, never fails, and never lets anyone down.\u201d<\/strong>
Pastor Vino Atienza<\/p>\n\n
