I've been struggling a lot lately with different things and I just want to share with you one of the devotions I read in a devotion book I've been reading from Max Lucado's morning and evening Edition "Grace for the Moment"
A Love that Never Fails
"Love never fails". 1 Corinthians 13:8 NIV
"Some of you are so thirsty for this type of love. A love that never fails. Those who should have loved you didn't. Those who could have loved you didn't. You were left at the hospital. Left at the altar. left with an empty bed. left with a broken heart. left with your question "Does anybody love me?
Please listen to heaven's answer. God loves you. Personally. Powerfully. Passionately. Others have promised and failed. But God has promiseed and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love and His love--if you will let it--can fill you and leave you with love worth giving.
So come. Come thirsty and drink deeply. "
This devotion, though short, got to me. Because it was true. I, like many others have, was and have been searching for a love that never fails. But time and time again I was let down, disappointed, because I was looking in places where it could not be found. We all have people in are lives we we have cared deeply about. Who we have loved. Who we put are full trust in. And who in the end let us down. Hurting us so deeply, that we find this talk of an unfailing love a myth. Something that could possibly not exist. there is no way someone could love me no matter what I did. No matter what choices I have made in my past or what choices I may make in the future. There is no one who will be there for me no matter where I'm at or what hour of the day it is. But after you argue it, and fight it, you can not deny it. It is true. An unfailing love does exist. You just have to look in the right direction. To the heavens. To God who created you and watches over you and will love you unconditionally and through all things. A God who can show you and fill you with a love worth giving.
