Love Never Fails – Share the True Love This Valentine’s Day
What is Love?
I read a good quotation the other day which says Love never fails but lovers do. Yes, this is true. Real love can never fail and remains the same. Love is an amazing word. It creates a great sense of joy and happiness in everyone’s life. While there are several definitions for Love, it is not easy to explain it in words. You can only experience it from the bottom of your heart. That is why Valentine's Day has become so popular among young people. Today, people celebrate this special day with great joy and enthusiasm, regardless of age, location and gender. It is a time of jubilation wherein people give valentine's day flowers and gifts to express their love for their dear ones. Statistics reveal that there is a great rise in sales of flowers and gifts during this time of the year. However, people give much importance to worldly love which fades away with time but ignore God’s love which remains for eternity.
If you want to paraphrase the whole Bible into one sentence, you can simply say that God loves this world and His love never fails. This is the essence of the whole Bible. This is the only reason why God came to this world to die on the cross and bridge the gap between God and His children. Paul emphasizes this in his letter to the Corinth Church. In I Corinthians Chapter 13, Paul speaks about the Love of Christ. God has promised His children several gifts. While it is good to speak in tongues and do miracles, Paul teaches us out of his real experiences that Love is the greatest thing among other gifts. If you cannot love your neighbor, you would not have a burden for the salvation of your neighbor. You cannot share the love of God with other people.
Agape - God's Love
That is why Paul continues to say that the gift of prophecies and tongues can seize at some point in time. When you enter Heaven, you don't need prophecies anymore. Faith and Hope become history. However, Love never fails and remains for eternity. God is Love and this love starts overflowing from you onto others. You continue to love God and other fellow saints.
God loves His children and always wishes to have a communion with them. When you accept Jesus, He comes into your heart and lives in you. When God lives in you, you cannot hate others. You will surely love everyone. That is why Jesus mentioned the Good Samaritan episode when people asked him who their neighbor is. Today, every believer has a responsibility to love their neighbors and share the word of God with people so that they can be blessed too. While you celebrate this Valentine’s Day with love and joy, remember that God’s love never fails and it is important to share the same love with your neighbors to bring them into the presence of the Lord. Spread the love of God this Valentine's Day and be blessed.
