Pastor Vaughn's Day by Day

Love Never Fails:
Fact: God is real
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Fact: The bible is God's inspired word
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God

Fact: The bible states that love never fails
1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails.

Fact: If you are failing in love in your marriage, parenting, friendships, family, or spirituality, God is either a liar or you do not understand what true love is.  God defines love as follows:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.

If you still love in a give and take manner failure is probable, but if you begin or continue to love without regard for "love returned", success is guaranteed for LOVE NEVER FAILS!

Fact: You do not have to be afraid of giving all you have in love and being left high and dry.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear

We may never be able to love as Christ did and continues too, but be honest with yourself about which method of love you are pursuing... Self gratifying or selfless?

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
