I LOVE 1 Corinthians 13:8a from the Amplified Bible!
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].
This verse, and all of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, is speaking of the God kind of love! This is the love that God has that caused Him to give His only Son - for US! This same love caused Jesus to give His life - for US! We have the ability, as born again believers, to walk in this kind of love with every person we come in contact with. We can choose to walk in love toward those who loves us AND toward those who don't! It is a decision type of love, NOT an emotional one! Remember that we will ONLY reap what we have already sown (Galatians 6:7). Sow love and you WILL reap love back! The BEST report, though, is the promise from our original verse, that love never fails! "Fail" is the Greek word "pipto", which means: to descend from higher to lower; to fall; to fall from prosperity to poverty; to lose authority. When you choose love, you choose to NEVER fail! What a great choice to make! Why would we ever make any other? I encourage you to choose the love walk in your life. You will be eternally glad that you did! AMEN!

Shalom in Him!
