Anchor Bible Verse of the Day
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

This verse, from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, shows the enduring nature of love. Even if other gifts of the Spirit, like prophecy or knowledge, fade away, love remains a constant force for good.
This verse serves as a reminder that the pursuit of love should be our primary focus. While spiritual gifts are valuable, they are temporary. Love, on the other hand, has the power to transform lives and build lasting connections.pen_spark

Reflection on Love Never Fails
Love Never Fails reminds us that God’s love is the foundation for all true love. Because He first loved us (1 John 4:19), we are to extend the same to others. This is especially important within our families, where relationships can sometimes get strained by daily routines and disagreements.
God’s love, demonstrated through the sacrifice of Jesus, is a model for how we should love others. This love is patient, kind, and selfless, and it extends beyond superficial feelings to a deeper commitment to the well-being of others.
In John 13:34-35, we read,
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
This verse reinforces the idea that our love for others should mirror the love that Jesus has for us. It is through this love that we show the world we are His disciples.
Today, let’s focus on extending this unwavering love to our immediate family. This includes showing patience, forgiveness, and understanding in our interactions.
We should strive to create an environment of love and support, reflecting God’s love in our homes.
By doing so, we not only strengthen our family bonds but set an example for others to follow.
Living out this kind of love requires us to be intentional in our actions and words. We should seek to understand and meet the needs of our family members, showing them that they are valued and cherished.
Remember, love is not just an emotion but a choice and a commitment. Let’s choose to love as God loves us, knowing that “Love Never Fails.”
