"Love Remains”

The human race has a tainted and war-torn history. Hurt, evil and pain have marked our years. At times, the ruins are all that we can see. But like a crack in the sidewalk, between the layers of darkness, light always seeps in, a root takes hold and right there in the cement, a flower grows. Love remains.

Kingdoms come and go
But they don’t last
Before you know the future is the past
In spite of what’s been lost or what’s been gained
We are living proof that love remains

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13). Why is love the greatest of these? Because love lives at the core of our faith.

John explains, “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:8-10).

God is love. So as long as He sits on the throne, love will remain. Through war, through prejudice, through tears and pain, no matter how dark and desperate our world becomes, love cannot be conquered. Love conquers. And love will be what’s standing when all else has faded away.
