This verse is likely familiar to you. Even if you didn’t grow up in the church world or are a relatively new believer, you may recognize these words from a decorative wall sign or mug at a home décor store. Of course, it’s easy to see why they’ve become so popular. Everyone loves love. It’s a part of almost every movie, song, or story that’s popular today. Not only is the concept of love easy to find in our culture, it’s highly celebrated. We don’t just want love to win; we want love to conquer all.

Even though these words are so popular, it’s easy to miss the point behind them. This isn’t a romantic kind of love. It’s not the deep love we have for family, friends, or even pets. This is the greatest kind of love out there. It’s the love we receive from our Heavenly Father. It’s an agape kind of love, meaning it’s given to us no matter what.

How does it make you feel to know that you are loved with this kind of love? That you are loved with a love that will always win, never fade, and is always available to you? Today, thank God for that love!
