Corinthians {15} Love Never Fails

It was months in the works creating this series and I'm honestly very sad to be at the end of the breakdown of the best definition of love ever! I did have a lot of fun when I would do each post because it taught me on how to love the way it was meant to be done and it would keep me in check on my selfish tendencies. 

I do plan to start another series on more popular scripture that you can use for ceremony readings. :-)

In case you missed the start of this series, check out the kick off of breaking down this popular wedding ceremony reading: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Part Fifteen looks at

What does it mean to fail? It is defined by dictionary.com as this:
1. to fall short of success or achievement in something expected, attempted, desired, or approved

2. to be or become deficient or lacking; be insufficient or absent; fall short

3. to dwindle, pass, or die away
4. to lose strength or vigor; become weak

How might we see this in our relationship and marriage?
- Not giving your 100% to save your marriage when it comes to the tough times

- Divorce

- Lack of effort in maintaining romance, affection and communication

- Saying, "We just fell out of love."

If any of the above occurs then it never really was real love in the first place because love never ends, it just keeps going. It can be tested, it can be strengthened, it can be hurt, it can be glorified. But the bottom line is that it never fails because it is real. The love with our spouse should be an example and celebration of God's never ending love for us! If you ever feel like your love is failing, always come back to this scripture and strive to make your love do all that the bible says it is.
