Never Failing Love
December 18th, 2020
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Grab a pencil, let’s make a list together. Ready? I want you to list all the times that the love of God has failed you. Yes, I know, and you know that God’s perfect love is incapable of ever failing anyone. However, I’d like for us to really stop and think. Has God’s love ever failed you? Has there ever been a time when God’s love just didn’t measure up to the task at hand? Complete honesty dictates that our answer would still be no. There might be times when it seemed like was God far away, but the truth is He wasn’t.
It’s easy to get caught up in clichés, especially those of us who have grown up in the church. Sometimes, we don’t even think about the words as we say them. The truth is that God and His great love have never failed us nor is He failing us right now. Furthermore, His love will never fail us in the future.
Such a seemingly simple thought, yet it’s worth thinking about the impact of those words to avoid them being taken for granted and end up a meaningless cliché.
