Love
bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the
best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it
endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails--never fades out or
becomes obsolete or comes to an end.

1 Corinthians 13:7-8
Love
never fails. Nothing works without it, and there can be no failure with it. When
you live by love, you cannot fail.
It
takes faith to believe that love's way will not fail. The natural mind cannot
understand that because the natural man and his world are ruled by
selfishness.
But
when you practice love by faith and refuse to seek your own, you put the Father
into action on your behalf. As long as you stay in love, God the Father seeks
your own. He sees to it that you succeed. Walking in love is to your great
advantage!
Agape
love is a new kind of power. It makes you master of every situation. No weapon
that is formed against you will prosper. No one even has the power to hurt your
feelings because you are not ruled by feelings but by God's love. You are loving
as He loves.
This
love is revolutionary. If we fully understood the great return from living God's
love, we'd probably be competing with each other, each of us trying to love the
other more. And without a doubt, everyone would emerge from that competition a
winner! For love is truly the only sure secret to our success.
