Cliche Love

'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.' -I Corinthians 13

This is so cliche. It's quoted too often. Overused. Boring. Irrelevant. Impossible.

If that is the case, our perspective needs to change. Love never fails.

Actions fail. Words fail. Thoughts fail. But Love never fails.
People fail. Money fails. Possessions fail. But Love never fails.
Work fails. Institutions fail. Countries fail. But Love never fails.
Life fails. Liberty fails. "The pursuit of happiness" fails. But Love never fails.


Love never fails. It's patient and kind.
It is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.
It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
It never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Love never fails.

Happy Valentine's Day!
