Unfailing Love

The Word of God gives the most valuable and eternal perspective on love:

“Love is not something you say, it’s something you do.” -Mother Teresa

Jesus: “forgive them Father for they know what they do (Luke 23:34) They hate me without a cause (Psalm 69:4)
Reconciliation– The renewal of relations between two or more persons who had previously been at enmity with each other. Genuine forgiveness can only come after the pitfall(s), whether minor or major, are clearly identified and hereafter willfully avoided. A genuine fresh start can now grow into an even stronger relationship because the offense or “thorn” has been removed permanently.
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” -Galatians 5:6a

If “love fails” between persons it is because one or both parties never understood or possessed God’s love to begin with. e.g. God hates divorce, and those who choose divorce as an option are breaking covenant with the Lord! (Malachi 2:15-16). Those who profess Christ and divorce malign the name of Jesus and injure the Body of Christ. Repent and be reconciled with your spouse!  Similarly, governments and nations who do not come under obedience to Jesus will break trust with its people.

A Holy Nation, a Holy People humbly before a Living God

“God calls people freely to offer him their obedience. Nothing is gained by imposing patterns of ‘Christian’ behavior on human beings whose hearts have not been turned to the Lord.”  Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920); Christian History & Biography Issue 94
