Love Never Fails by Jeroeme Stewart 
In 1st John chapter 4 the brethren were reminded of the importance of love. Vss. 7 thru 9 the Apostle John says; “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God;
and everyone who loves is born of God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God
has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.” Look at the world today. Where’s the love? The opportunity each and every day
to exercise the meaning of agape love is available to any and everybody. That’s how we will overcome the evil we are reminded of every day. To counter evil in
any form an attitude of love and patience can prevent anyone from traveling down the road paved with evil. Love brings light to any situation and it can be
immediate. With evil darkness abounds. Love and evil cannot co-exist at the same time. It’s not rocket science. Turn off a light and see what happens; it gets dark;
but when we turn the light back on it illuminates the room. There are so many people that suffer because of a lack of love for others. Proverbs 4 vs. 23 says;
“Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” The Apostle Paul said to the brethren in Colossians 3 vss. 12 thru 15; “As the
elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, if anyone has a complaint
against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.” Love will always
counter punch the evil, hate, and anger on display today. Vs. 17 says; “And whatever you do in word or deed, do in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
to God the Father through Him.” When there is a willingness to trust in the words of the living God we will see the world change for the better. The words in
Philippians 4 vs. 13 still hold true today. The Apostle Paul said to the brethren; “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It matters greatly the
people we listen to and allow to influence how we think and act. John 10 vs. 27 Jesus says; “My sheep hear My voice. And I know them, and they follow Me.”
