And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
The more I read these verses, the more inspired I am to write about them. What a great subject to write about, the greatest personal attribute to possess… LOVE!
I was in church this morning and the pastor did another great job delivering the Word of God. I have two more posts including this one on these verses and then I will be working on this past weeks summary, which completely moved me inside.

This post will examine 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 :
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
I love the first sentence… Love NEVER fails.
Think about that for a second… Love NEVER fails. It doesn’t work one time and then the next time it doesn’t. Unconditional love works all the time in every situation no matter how good a situation may be or how dark it may be.
Prophecies will prove to be false, languages will come and go, or even become obsolete. Knowledge will also become old and useless but there is only one thing that is perfect and that is LOVE and when Unconditional Love is here it trumps everything, prophecies, languages and knowledge.
Love NEVER fails.
Make sure to continue working on living your life with unconditional love. This is a hard thing to do but the more you do it the easier it becomes. Make it a habitual part of your being. A habitual way of looking at people, places and things.
And always remember that Love NEVER fails.
As Always, Here’s to Your LifetoSuccess,
God Bless You,
John Clark
