Love Never Fails, Because God is Love
Love is full of character and integrity. Walking in the agape love of God can have you feeling from time to time like a doormat. Your motivation must be from a standpoint of doing this for the Lord and not necessarily for people. Our minds will not be as understanding as our hearts. It is a sacrificial love that is patient and understanding, but can seemingly turn on the person being ministered to because of their blatant disrespectfulness. We are not doormats to be stepped on by another’s foolishness. Our personalities have a lot to do with our tolerance levels and natural patience. As we grow in this love and exercise it by obeying God’s commandments, we will find our own personal groove in showing God’s love to others. Love is patient and kind, and is ever ready to believe the best of everyone. Its hopes are fadeless no matter what the circumstances. Agape love blockers can be found in arrogance, pride, selfishness, and doubt. These faith killing attributes can only be conquered by the love of God. The love of God will begin to melt away these love blockers on behalf of the person dispensing God’s love. Maturity in Christ is the prerequisite to successfully come against these demonically influenced attributes of mankind. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes. Love never fails.
