1 Corinthians 13:8 "Love
never fails..."
The love which flows in our hearts when we are indwelt by
the Holy Spirit is not a general love but a specific one -- the love of Christ.
This love dulls the edge of disappointment and enables us to be invulnerable
to many things.
The nine ingredients of the fruit of the Spirit were all exemplified in Jesus' life on earth. It is the present purpose of the Holy Spirit to engraft them into us as we abide in Christ and maintain a close, day-by-day relationship with Him.

Christians who dwell deeply in God find that they are
changed from people who just love occasionally, when it is convenient, to
people whose controlling purpose is love. Love becomes the organizing motive
and power in their lives. Such love "never fails," for it always
finds a way of expressing itself in a way pleasing to God.
