Love never fails, but every unkind word is a failure of people to love one another. Love has never failed, but when it is set aside and replaced with pride and self-focus, human ego fails and paints human lives with emotional and mental misery.
Generic human love fails. The original brand of love is always reliable.
There’s only one unfailing source of faith and hope and that’s the failproof love of God which is being poured out into human hearts that are willing to humbly receive, surrender to, and be continually led by the Holy Spirit. Love (and all the other aspects of the fruit of the Spirit) always flourishes in hearts and lives that are fully surrendered to living Jesus. Love is not an academic style study or Bible lesson of the Greek word “agape.” It’s the ongoing supernatural overflow of the unfailing “Christ in you,” and His inner rivers of living water.
To applaud, approve of, or accept wrong behavior is unloving. Instead of helping people it further entraps them in their wrongdoing. Love speaks the truth with kindness. God so loved the world that instead of approving of people’s self-focused desires and behaviors He made a way through Jesus for people to be set free and restored to a heart-to-heart relationship with Him.
God’s love defines our identity, but our self-focused desires don’t. They distort it. It’s time for people who passionately love Jesus to come out of the closet and begin to openly and kindly talk about Him and the beautiful identity He has for all people who are willing to receive it and walk in it. (The more I get my mind off of myself, the more I experience mental health and heart-felt happiness.)
True Christianity is a Spirit-led lifestyle that overflows with love. It’s not a human-programmed church style.
