“Love never fails.”

Daily writing prompt
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

I have 36 journal books full of quotes that I have collected over the years. One of my favorites is: “Love never fails.”

Love constantly looks unto Jesus. It beholds the Lamb of God throughout each day. Experience love at Christ’s sight. Let Him ever write His love letters deeply on your heart and flood you with His patience and kindness, Let the Spirit of Christ lead you away from envy, pride, self-seeking, and anger so that you can enjoy mercy and forgiveness. Rejoice in the truth that if you will continually surrender your life to the risen Jesus, you can trust Him to protect you, direct you, and always be the hope of glory living in and through you. Rely and depend on Him every moment of every day. Jesus never fails!

People can’t see Christ in you if you hide His presence. Walk in His light. Day by day cultivate your heart so that Christ’s life can grow and flourish within you. Pull out the weeds that choke His presence and quench His Spirit. Plow up the hard ground in your heart so it can become Christ’s fertile soil. Let the Master Gardener prune your distractions, addictions, and rebellions so that you can bear even more fruit.

Let Jesus out of
The religious box
So He can detox
You from life’s hard knocks
And heal your hearting heart.

The pearl of great price
Is the Spirit leading
The body of Christ
And demonstrating
The presence of God.
Be still and know,
Then get up and go
Do what the Spirit
Tells you to do.

If you know Him,
Let your life
Be Christ’s poem
Revealing the beauty
Of His presence
So people can see
The Pearl of Great Price,
God eternal gem,
Shining through you
And reflecting Him
Everywhere you go.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
