Valentines Day is all about love, expressing our human love to those closest to us. As much as we would aspire to love perfectly and never fail our loved-ones, we are human. We will fail the ones we love most, and they will fail us.
God is love! Love is something God is, not something He does. Therefore, His love is perfect!! There is no other source of unfailing love. I've been let down in the past by those close to me and it really hurt! But, I've come to realize it is senseless to try to get unfailing love from a human source who is simply uncapable of providing it, who was not even created to provide it. I love these profound thoughts by Beth Moore on "unfailing love":
Though the mountains move and the hills shake, My love will not be removed from you.
Isaiah 54:10
"The Word of God uses the phrase "unfailing love" thirty-two times, and not once is it attributed to humans. Every single use of the phrase refers to God and God alone. Although the love of others can be rich and meaningful, only God's love is unfailing.
He is not only the answer to a thousand needs but a thousand wants. He is our chief desire in all of life. Oh, God, awaken our souls to see - You are what we want, not just what we need. Yes, our life's protection, but also our heart's affection. Yes, our soul's salvation, but also our heart's exhilaration. Unfailing love - a love that will not let us go!
