Love
bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to
believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all
circumstances and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never
fails--[never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].
– 1 Corinthians 13:7-8, The Amplified Bible

Love never fails. Nothing works without it, and there can be no failure with it. When you live by love, you cannot fail.
It
takes faith to believe that love's way will not fail. The natural mind
cannot understand that because the natural man and his world are ruled
by selfishness.
But when you practice love by faith and refuse to
seek your own, you put the Father into action on your behalf. As long as
you stay in love, God the Father seeks your own. He sees to it that you
succeed. Walking in love is to your great advantage!
Agape love
is a new kind of power. It makes you master of every situation. No
weapon that is formed against you will prosper. No one even has the
power to hurt your feelings because you are not ruled by feelings but by
God's love. You are loving as He loves.
This love is
revolutionary. If we fully understood the great return from living God's
love, we'd probably be competing with each other, each of us trying to
love the other more. And without a doubt, everyone would emerge from
that competition a winner! For love is truly the only sure secret to our
success.
