Fails
What is the greatest love you've ever known? Come on, it's Valentine's day. You should definitely have an answer. Or maybe I am just bias. For those of us who are celebrating Singleness Awareness Day instead, I feel like the answer is a little clearer to see because we aren't wearing rose colored goggles. The greatest love I have ever known is that of the Triune God.
I say Triune because Trinity implies three separate people. And God is three in one. The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit who contrary to common knowledge is in fact a person. And this post actually goes out to the three of them. Love never fails. It is impossible and God cannot fail. We are loved by Him are we not? His love cannot fail. Plain, simple, done.

God said that He would never forsake us. Aside from the fact that He is unstoppable He also promises to be by our side forever. Now that's some unconditional love. And the truth is, I know that I probably couldn't love like that. You only have a certain amount of times to hurt me until I have to start loving you from a distance. Are you like that?
God won't turn His back or get ashamed of us when we do something extra stupid like break out into song in the middle of a Wal-Mart, which we have all done, right? He will just break into song with us and care for us during our troubles, even when we act like complete brats. Why? Because of His love for us. Isn't that amazing?
Quits
You cannot give up when you are in love. God does not give up on us so we cannot give up on those He loves. Even when someone does back flips on your last little nerve, you must not give up. Just pray, and like I said before you may have to start loving that person from a distance. If they hurt you, forgive them and pray for them to learn to be more responsible and respectable. If all you want to do is punch that person in the throat.....don't. Yes, that's the correct advice to give you, even though sometimes....man, sometimes. However, if you do feel like that just don't contact them for a while. Maybe a week or two, say hi and bi and then if God leads you to it go for a whole week more and pray that God gives you a heart big enough to love even the most obnoxious people you come in contact with.
This song by S.O talks about God's love and how His Son is the way, tell 'em all. Tell Em All by S.O.
