PUT YOUR HOPE IN MY UNFAILING LOVE. You live in a world where failure abounds -- in governments and businesses, schools and churches, friends, families, and you. Instantaneous worldwide communication makes the failures all the more evident, all the more heart-wrenching. So the idea of unfailing Love is radical; there is no adequate model for it in this world. Clearly, such Love can be found only in Me -- in the very essence of who I am.
Even the most devoted parent, friend, or lover will let you down sometimes, but I am the eternal Lover who will never fail you. This is possible because a Man --- with human understanding and empathy. In fact, My compassions never fail. So find hope in Me and in My amazing provision for believers -- salvation and righteousness that will never fail. This hope strengthens you and pleases Me. I delight in those who put their hope in My unfailing Love.
- Jesus
