PROMISE #45 - FEBRUARY 14
Promise #45:
My love will never fail you.
1 Corinthians 13:8 (WEB)
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with.
Where there are various languages, they will cease.
Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
The Greek word for love used in this verse is 'agape', which is used to describe God's everlasting, unconditional love. This popular chapter of the Bible is often used as the Scripture reading for weddings to emphasize the power of love.
I would encourage you to read the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 13 as often as possible to remind yourself of the priority of love in God's eyes. Paul the Apostle writes that love is the greatest attribute of God that we can pursue.
We can have faith to move mountains, give all our possessions to the poor, understand all mysteries and knowledge, and even die a martyr's death, but if we don't have love, it means nothing.
1 John 4:16 says that God is love. The very core of His being is an unconditional, everlasting love that continually flows out to us. In today's promise, the message is short and sweet. God's love will never fail you. Ever.
On the day of the year that many people celebrate love (Valentine's Day), may we all be reminded of the greatest of all loves that comes from the Father to us through His Son, Jesus Christ. The love that God has for us will never fail. Earthly love may disappoint us occasionally, but the love God has for us will never change and will last forever.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for your love, which will never fail me. Though others may let me down in this life, I can always count on your steadfast, immeasurable love to encourage and strengthen me when I need it.
Help me to make the pursuit of your love the greatest aim in my life so that I might live in your love and experience your love living in me.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
My love will never fail you.
