LOVE – THE SECRET TO SUCCESS PART III
“Love never fails – never fades out or become obsolete or comes to an end. As for prophecy, it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
(1 Corinthians 13:8)
“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.” Sam Keen
Love is the most powerful force on earth, the most powerful positive force known to man. The bible says it as strong as death and that many waters cannot quench love. Songs .Of. Solomon 8vs 6. Françoise Mocuriac said “ No love, no friendship can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever.”
Love is the bedrock of our faith – faith that works by love (Gal 5:6) “For if we are in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.”
Love never fails, nothing works without it and there is no failure with love so when you live by love, you cannot fail. When you practice love by faith and refuse to seek your own, you put the Father into action on your behalf because He will allow no man to do you wrong I chronicles 16vs22.
As long as you stay in love, God seeks your own, He sees to it that you never fail,
“The steps of a good man are directed and established of the Lord, when He delights in His way [and He busies Himself with his every step]. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasp his hand in support and upholds him.” (Psalm 37: 23 – 24)
Walking in love is to your own advantage and that of your children. The wicked plots against the righteous man – the upright in right standing with God; he gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at [the wicked]; for He sees that their own day [of defeat] is coming. . (Psalm 37:12-13)
The evidence of your Christianity is the love you show and may I say people need your love the most when they least deserve it. Loving is an eternal investment, the one that loves enjoys peace, is at peace and fears no evil. The bible enjoins us to depart from evil and love.
“Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever [securely].” (Psalm 37:27)
The Lord does not forsake nor abandon a man of love in the hand of his oppressor – Ps. 37:33. Even though verse 32 “The wicked lies in wait for the righteous, and seek to put him to death.” yet verse 29, and “his steps shall never slide” verse 31.
