Love never fails

When Paul says, “Love never fails,” he sets it against the temporary nature of everything else we hold sacred, prophecies, tongues, knowledge, even our spiritual maturity itself. All of it is partial, all of it will be swallowed up in the coming completeness. Love, and love alone, is eternal.

Love always…Perseveres: The Relentless Endurance of Agapē

This is the love that stays with the prodigal’s father as he waits by the road, day after day, unmoved by disgrace or community shame. It is the love of a mother who refuses to give up on a wayward child. It is the love of God who remains under the weight of human betrayal and still whispers, “I am with you always.”

Love always…Hopes, Anticipating God’s Future

To live in this way is costly. To “always hope” means opening ourselves to disappointment, even heartbreak. But it also means sharing in God’s own heart. For God’s love is not cynical, guarded, or calculating. God’s love, as seen in Christ, is stubbornly, recklessly…hopeful.

Love always…Protects – A Fierce and Gentle Shield

On the cross, He bore the arrows meant for us, keeping no record of wrongs, trusting, and hoping in the Father’s redemptive plan. To love as Christ loves is to be a sheltering presence in the lives of others, not out of fear or control, but out of hope, humility, and relentless grace.

Love…Rejoices With The Truth

To love without truth is to deceive; to proclaim truth without love is to wound. But when love and truth embrace, there is a quiet triumph, as if the very life of God were breaking into the world.

Love with…a long fuse

Love walks into our daily relationships, marriage, friendship, or ministry, with a soul that is unhurried having no reactions. What if we received others not with the heat of assumption but with the curiosity of love?

Love does…not dishonour

Honour, in the Biblical imagination, is rooted in recognising the image of God in another. It is not earned by behaviour or merit; it is intrinsic, bestowed by the Creator.

Love does…not boast

Love does…not boast

Boasting is the sound of an insecure heart clanging for affirmation. Love, by contrast, is content in silence. When I imagine this phrase contemplatively, I picture a deep, clear well.

Love does…not Envy

Love, in its truest form, is not threatened by others because it knows the Source. Envy emerges when we believe grace is scarce. But love is grounded in the reality of God’s boundless generosity. Love is able to rest in the stillness of knowing: What God gives, He gives in fullness, not in competition. There is enough room at the table. There is enough light in the day.

Anzac day 2025

We struggle to comprehend this. We all love those who serve, but for the majority who don not, giving your life for another at the cost of your own family, your own plans and hopes…that is difficult to grasp. Somehow Anzac Day creates a way for us to momentarily reflect and appreciate this difficult to grasp reality - helping us to develop perhaps again a gratitude, an honour and a respect for those who somehow find it in their heart to put their lives in the firing line.

Love is…Kind

The kindness of love is not confined to the grand gesture. More often, it is the small, unnoticed act, a word withheld to avoid wounding, a door held open, a cup of water offered without fanfare. It is the habit of making space, of choosing understanding over judgment, of seeing the sacred in the other. Philippians 2:3-4

Love is…Patient

To say that love is patient is not merely to suggest that love can wait; it is to say that love knows how to wait. It is to say that love enters time without anxiety. Love does not rush. Love does not force. Love abides.Ten years have passed, and his argument has remained my companion in thought, pressing upon me in moments of stillness.
