God's got it right

'Love never fails ...' 1 Corinthians 13:8

This is a tough passage to read if you've had a bad experience of 'love'. Maybe someone told you they loved you, then left you all alone and hurting. Maybe someone you loved lied to you, and you still don't understand why. Maybe you've lost someone close to you, and you just don't get it. If that's love, how can it 'never fail'? Well, the first thing to realise is that we humans don't always get it right - but God does.

Where we fail in love, He perfects. Where we get it wrong, He succeeds. But then you might think, if God's love is so perfect, why does He let bad stuff happen to us? Well, if a parent and child are walking along the road next to each other, and the kid trips and hurts themselves - did the parent let that happen? Is it their fault? Does the kid think they don't love them? No - the child knows that the parent will pick them up, carry them, and try to make it better - because they love them.

The truth about God's perfect love isn't that He never allows bad things to happen to us. What we need to grasp hold of is His promise that when they do, He'll be with us to pick us up, carry us and help us through. His love is perfect, and it never fails. He's always there right next to you, loving you, when you need Him most.
