Love Never Fails

You know when you hear a song that speaks to your soul? It's as if the artist knows exactly what you need to hear right then. In the sermon I heard this Sabbath the speaker told a story about a mission project in Africa. The group had brought over a thousand American Standard bolts and had left the matching nuts back in the States. They had a slim chance of finding the standard nuts they needed to complete the building project, but they looked anyways. An old man at the local hardware store thought they were so foolish for thinking they would have Standard nuts and bolts for sale in a place where the English metric system was used, but he looked anyways. Sure enough, on top of the boxes of supplies was a large box of 1,000 standard nuts. Exactly what they needed! He received the box 60 years ago when a man from the United States had come to Africa and was working on a project of his own. He only needed the bolts and left the nuts with the owner. God solved their problem 60 years ago. That's why we can never doubt if God is in control. He is and He was in control long before the problem even happened.

Here's the song that I needed to hear today, by Brandon Heath.

Love Never Fails

Love is not proud

Love does not boast

Love after all
Matters the most

Love does not run
Love does not hide
Love does not keep
Locked inside

Love is the river that flows through
Love never fails you

Love will sustain
Love will provide
Love will not cease
At the end of time

Love will protect
Love always hopes
Love still believes
When you don’t

Love is the arms that are holding you
Love never fails you

When my heart won’t make a sound
When I can’t turn back around
When the sky is falling down
Nothing is greater than this
Greater than this

Love is right here
Love is alive
Love is the way
The truth the life

Love is the river that flows through
Love is the arms that are holding you
Love is the place you will fly to
Love never fails you
