Stay with us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us. I remember sitting down with a couple, asking them for their definition of love, years ago. What I got was romantic poetry back from them. What I really wanted them to understand, before we were all done in our [premarital] conversation, is that, while romantic poetry is lovely and wonderful, when you get down to the core\u2014what real love looks like is commitment and self-sacrifice. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, if I had to boil it down to two words\u2014\u201cWhat is love?\u201d\u2014and the reason we\u2019re talking about this is, of course, because Valentine\u2019s Day is this weekend; so it\u2019s the holiday about love. I think everybody is thinking about: \u201cWhat can we do that\u2019s special?\u201d and \u201cWhere can I express my love to you?\u201d All of that is good; but if the foundation is not commitment and self-sacrifice, then you\u2019re trying to build on the wrong foundation. Jesus said, \u201cGreater love has no man than this that he lays down his life for his friends.\u201d In marriage, don\u2019t you think it is the same? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes; absolutely. I\u2019m recalling, in the Bible studies that I\u2019ve led over the years\u2014and I\u2019ll have a lot of 20-year-old women in there that are married\/newly-married\u2014and I\u2019ll put a picture in front of them of a couple in their 20\u2019s, newly- married, so in love\/feeling so high you can tell by the looks on their faces. Then I\u2019ll show a couple, walking down the road, holding hands, in their 90s. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cWhich one, to you, looks like that they are more in love?\u201d I\u2019m always so glad that they say, \u201cThe couple in their 90s,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014because they\u2019ve gone through so much; and yet, they are still together; because love is way more than just feelings. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; and that couple in their later years are committed, and they\u2019ve had to daily\/if not hourly self-sacrifice for one another. It is so interesting\u2014isn\u2019t it?\u2014love isn\u2019t a feeling;\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u2014it\u2019s not poetry, although those are <em>wonderful<\/em> things. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014and fun. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You want that; but at the end of the day, it\u2019s not even about me; it\u2019s about <em>serving<\/em> someone I love. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think, when you\u2019re <em>committed<\/em> to one another\u2014committed to your marriage, and you\u2019re sacrificing for one another\u2014I think what happens is: on top of that, come the feelings; they spring out of that\u2014that\u2019s kind of like the soil. In fact, the better feelings come out of that than just the momentary fleeting kind of romantic feelings that occasionally come our way. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>We thought, with Valentine\u2019s Day coming up this weekend, we ought to revisit what real love is. We\u2019ve been listening this week to excerpts from the video series that we\u2019ve put together called <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, based on the book that I wrote that came out last year. This is where that series finds its conclusion\u2014with the last thing that the Bible has to say in its definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13\u2014\u201cLove never fails.\u201d That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to dive into today. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Excerpt from the <em>Love Like You Mean It <\/em>Video Series ]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> In the part of the country where we live, and where I\u2019ve lived most of my life, we may see flurries in the winter\/snow flurries; and we\u2019ll get an occasional snow fall maybe every other year; but it\u2019s not a place where you can count on snow every winter. As often as we might get a snow storm, we might also get an ice storm. Those come as frequently as snow storms do for us. In fact, right after Christmas, back in the year 2000, there was an ice storm in our city that knocked out power for almost the entire city for a couple of days. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat Thursday afternoon, I remember we put a fire in the fire place; and we got out flashlights and candles. It felt kind of like an adventure for a few hours. We have a gas stove, so we were still able to cook stuff on the gas stove\u2014we were glad for that\u2014but after a while, what started off as an adventure started to wear on you. It got pretty discouraging. About 10 o\u2019clock at night, we all decided, \u201cOkay; let\u2019s just go to bed.\u201d We got out extra blankets, because we didn\u2019t have heat in the house. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe next day, the power is still out. About halfway through the day\u2014this is not fun anymore, now, to not have any power\u2014we went a whole day that day into the evening with no power. Now, you\u2019re starting to get really discouraged and depressed; and \u201cHow long is this going to be? Should we drive out of town?\u201d Well, you can\u2019t really; because the roads are still iced over. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut the third day, you wake up to no power, and this no fun at all. Any adventure you had on that first night has completely drained; and you\u2019ve got nothing to do, and life is no fun. I remember thinking, \u201cHow did people live 150 years ago when nobody had electricity?\u201d I was realizing how accustomed I had become to being able to flick a switch, and a light would come on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe\u2019ve all been through power outages or power failures; that\u2019s going to happen with thunderstorms. In any city, something is going to affect the power grid; you\u2019re going to lose power for a while. The Bible says about love that love <em>never<\/em> goes out\u2014never fails\/never falters\u2014even in a thunderstorm, love does not flicker. We sing about it in church: \u201cLove never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out.\u201d God\u2019s love for us is endless, and our love for one another ought to be endless as well. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, does that sound like you? Are you the kind of person whose love never fails?\u2014where it never runs out? Or are there times when you\u2019re all out of love? God\u2019s love for us is different than our love for one another; right? In the Bible, it says that, \u201cThe steadfast love\u201d\u2014steadfast: it never changes\u2014\u201cThe steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness.\u201d Our love is not like that; is it? Our love flickers, and falters, and fails. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis next part is <em>really<\/em> important, so stay with me here. You have probably not lived in a house, where the water supply is fed by a cistern. Most of us live in a place where our water comes into our house, either from a well or from a city water supply. A cistern is different. In the old days, gutters used to collect rain water; and that rain water would be diverted to a holding tank\u2014that was the cistern. That cistern would be the supply of water, either to irrigate the crops or\u2014if it went through a filter\u2014to supply water for household use. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEverything is fine as long as the cistern is full of water. As long as you\u2019ve got enough rain that feeds the cistern, then you\u2019ve got enough water to take care of the fields or take care of the house; but in a drought, when it hasn\u2019t rained for a while, the cistern gets low: you don\u2019t have water for your crops, for your fields, for your house. Now, the supply is out; and that\u2019s when things get hard. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I\u2019ve heard people talk, for years, about how each one of us has a love tank in us; maybe, you\u2019ve heard this too. We have this bucket in us that longs to be filled up with love; and from the time we are born, our caregivers\/our parents\u2014those people who come around us\u2014they love on us, and our bucket gets filled up. Even as little babies, our love tank gets filled as people love on us; or if nobody is loving on you, then you wind up with an <em>empty<\/em> love tank. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs you grow up, you love others; they love you. Sometimes, you\u2019re given love; sometimes, you\u2019re filling your own tank up\/your own bucket of love up. The idea here is that, in order for us to love others well, we have to have a supply of love in us. We have to have been loved well in order to love others well. We should be working to fill each other\u2019s love tank up. Well, the problem with that idea is that there is not enough love among us to keep filling one another\u2019s buckets up. There are always going to be people, whose love tank runs dry; because they didn\u2019t get the human love to fill them up that they need. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut along comes God, and He says, \u201cWhen you surrender your life to Me\u2014when you become a part of My family\/become one of My children; you become a child of God\u201d\u2014He says\u2014\u201cI have an endless supply of love that I will keep pouring into you so that the love in you will never run dry.\u201d As God\u2019s child, our rain buckets get filled up from <em>His<\/em> supply. Now, His love for us comes into us, and it is out of the abundance of love that He has for us that we\u2019re able to love other people. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, you may be thinking, \u201cWell, I\u2019m a child of God; but my love tank still runs dry sometimes.\u201d That\u2019s because something has crimped the line; something has kept you from <em>receiving<\/em> God\u2019s love for you\/from it being poured <em>into<\/em> you so that it\u2019s available to be poured out to others. It\u2019s not because God ran out of love; His supply never runs out. It\u2019s because you\u2019ve <em>not gone<\/em> to the supply and been filled up with God\u2019s love for you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen we\u2019re out of love, as children of God, the place to go is to Jesus; and say, \u201cI\u2019m out of love. I need to be <em>filled<\/em> again with Your love for me.\u201d We do that through spiritual disciplines: we do that through reading and memorizing passages of Scripture, meditating on the Bible, praying, worshipping, joining together with others in fellowship. These habits of grace\u2014as one author has referred to them\u2014these are the habits that God uses to keep pouring love and grace into us so that, as it\u2019s poured into us, it can overflow <em>out<\/em> of us to others. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is God\u2019s principle for us being the kind of loving people He\u2019s called us to be. For our love to never fail, we have to be connected to the endless supply of love that God provides; and we have to make sure the hose is not crimped up, but that we keep it open\u2014that we\u2019re always drawing on His endless supply of love\u2014and that it is overflowing from us to others. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019ll illustrate this with a favorite illustration of mine. This is something that had a profound impact on me the first time I read it. It\u2019s a story of a woman, who lived in Holland in the 1940s. Her name was Corrie ten Boom. Corrie was part of a family that provided shelter and refuge for Jews, who were fleeing persecution from the Nazis at the beginning of World War II. It\u2019s talked about in a book that\u2019s been written called <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCorrie and her family gave shelter to these Jews; they were eventually found out. Not only were the Jews taken to concentration camps, but Corrie\u2019s family was arrested; and they were sent to the same concentration camps with the Jews that they had been hiding. Corrie and her sister Betsy were in their 50s at this time. They went to a number of different camps; ultimately, ended up in the Ravensbr\u00fcck Camp in northern Germany. There, they were prisoners; they were ill-treated, but they never lost their hope. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn fact, they had smuggled a Bible into the concentration camp; and they were sharing God\u2019s Word with other prisoners. Well, shortly before Christmas in 1944, Corrie\u2019s sister Betsy died. She had become weak in the concentration camp and, ultimately, passed right before Christmas. Fifteen days later, Corrie wound up being released from the concentration camp. It turned out later it was because of a clerical error. In fact, right after the New Year had begun, the women in Corrie\u2019s unit were all taken to the gas chambers and were exterminated. Corrie would have died if it had not been for that clerical error that saved her life. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tA few years after that, Corrie had begun speaking about her experiences and sharing about God\u2019s love and forgiveness in churches all around Europe. She found herself one night in a church in Munich, Germany, where she was preaching to a congregation about God\u2019s love and forgiveness. She tells the story of what happened that night at this church in Munich. Let me read this to you. Corrie says:\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was in a church in Munich that I saw him: a balding, heavy set man in a gray overcoat, a brown felt hat clutched between his hands. People were filing out of the basement room, where I had just spoken, moving along the rows of the wooden chairs to the door at the rear. It was 1947. I had come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives. That\u2019s when I saw him, working his way forward against the others. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne moment, I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visor cap with skull and cross bones. It came back to me with a rush: the huge room with its harsh overhead lights, the pathetic pile of dresses and shoes at the center of the floor, the shame of walking naked past this man. I could see my sister\u2019s frail form ahead of me, ribs sharp beneath the parchment. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, this man was in front of me, his hand thrust out. \u201cA fine message, fr\u00e4ulein. How good it is to know that, as you say, our sins are at the bottom of the sea.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Corrie says:] And I, who had spoken so glibly of forgiveness, fumbled in my pocketbook rather than take his hand. He would not remember me, of course. How could he remember one prisoner among those thousands of women? But I remembered him and the leather crop swinging from his belt. I was face to face with one of my captors, and my blood seemed to freeze. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cYou mentioned Ravensbr\u00fcck in your talk,\u201d he said. \u201cI was a guard there.\u201d No, he did not remember me. \u201cBut since that time,\u201d he went on \u201cI\u2019ve become a Christian. I know God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well, fr\u00e4ulein.\u201d His hand came out again. \u201cWill you forgive me?\u201d I stood there. I, whose sins had again and again been forgiven, I could not forgive. Betsy had died in that place. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt could not have been many seconds that he stood there, with his hand held out; but to me, it seemed like hours as I wrestled with the most difficult thing I ever had to do. I had to do it; I knew that. The message that God forgives has a prior condition\u2014we must forgive those who have injured us\u2014\u201cIf you do not forgive men their trespasses,\u201d Jesus says, \u201cneither will the Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.\u201d Still, I stood there, with the coldness clutching my heart; but forgiveness is not an emotion; I knew that too. Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cHelp,\u201d I prayed silently. \u201cI can lift my hand; I can do that much. You supply the feeling.\u201d So [Corrie says] woodenly\/mechanically, I thrust my hand into the one stretched in front of me. As I did, an incredible thing took place. A current started in my shoulder, raced down my arm, sprang into our joined hands; and then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes. \u201cI forgive you, brother,\u201d I cried \u201cwith all my heart.\u201d For a long moment, we grasped each other\u2019s hands\u2014the former guard and the former prisoner. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI had never known\u2014[listen; she says]\u2014I had never known God\u2019s love so intently as I did then. [In her book, <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>, Corrie says] I discovered that, when God tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think we have to remember that, in marriage\u2014our love will fail; God\u2019s love will never fail\u2014we\u2019ll run out; He never will. When you\u2019re out of love, God can supply the love you need so that your marriage can continue and go the distance. That love can grow; it can spring up in you like it did for Corrie. Love never fails; <em>that\u2019s<\/em> good news. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFor more than 40 years, Mary Ann and I have had hanging in our bedroom our wedding invitation\u2014it\u2019s framed\u2014and at the bottom of the invitation is 1 John 4:19. It\u2019s a verse that says simply, \u201cWe love because He first loved us.\u201d That\u2019s the message of the Bible; God calls us to be dispensers of the love that He has poured out on us through His Son. His love never fails. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Studio] \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> What we\u2019ve been listening to\u2014Session 10 from the <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em> video series\u2014that we hope couples will go through this content: get the book\/go through the video series with other couples. In fact, we made this video series so that, if you don\u2019t have ten weeks to go through all of it, you pick Week 1 and you do Week 10. Then you can fill in the middle with whatever issues you want to work on; right? If you need to work on patience, or kindness, or not being rude or irritable, or commitment, you can decide what the middle parts need to be. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> By the end of the day, you\u2019re going to probably watch all of them\u2014[Laughter]\u2014because you\u2019re going to realize\u2014or actually your spouse is going to <em>tell<\/em> you, \u201cYou need to watch the patience one,\u201d\u2014or whatever. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes; right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> We all do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I mean, at the end of the day, though, what you said is so true with the foundation.

There is a workbook: some great discussion questions for you; some homework for you to do. We think this can have a powerful impact on your marriage and on the marriages of others you know if you\u2019ll just invite them to be part of this series with you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em> video series is available now from us, here, at FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.

In fact, I just found this out\u2014I found out that now through Valentine\u2019s Day\/so this week\u2014our team has been telling anybody, who has been calling to get the video series, that they are throwing in my book free. You get the video series and the book, <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em>, together when you go to our website, FamilyLifeToday.com, to order or when you call 1-800-FL-TODAY. That\u2019s good through Valentine\u2019s Day. Take advantage of that. Again, the website\u2014FamilyLifeToday.com\u2014or call 1-800-FL-TODAY. Do something proactive for your marriage and the marriages of other people you know. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn fact, let me just say a word quickly to those of you who are\u2014maybe, you\u2019re empty nesters; you\u2019ve been married for\u2014I don\u2019t know\u201425\/30 years or longer. Why don\u2019t you invite some younger couples, who are in the first 10 years of their marriage, to join you to go through this study? I know you\u2019re thinking, \u201cThose younger people don\u2019t want to go through a marriage study with old folks like us.\u201d Well, actually, yes; they do. They want to hear the wisdom of people, who have figured out how to go the distance. You would be a great asset\u2014just think about four or five couples you know, who are younger couples, and make this your assignment this spring\u2014to take them through <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em>.

Stay with us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd welcome to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. Thanks for joining us. I remember sitting down with a couple, asking them for their definition of love, years ago. What I got was romantic poetry back from them. What I really wanted them to understand, before we were all done in our [premarital] conversation, is that, while romantic poetry is lovely and wonderful, when you get down to the core\u2014what real love looks like is commitment and self-sacrifice. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI mean, if I had to boil it down to two words\u2014\u201cWhat is love?\u201d\u2014and the reason we\u2019re talking about this is, of course, because Valentine\u2019s Day is this weekend; so it\u2019s the holiday about love. I think everybody is thinking about: \u201cWhat can we do that\u2019s special?\u201d and \u201cWhere can I express my love to you?\u201d All of that is good; but if the foundation is not commitment and self-sacrifice, then you\u2019re trying to build on the wrong foundation. Jesus said, \u201cGreater love has no man than this that he lays down his life for his friends.\u201d In marriage, don\u2019t you think it is the same? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> Yes; absolutely. I\u2019m recalling, in the Bible studies that I\u2019ve led over the years\u2014and I\u2019ll have a lot of 20-year-old women in there that are married\/newly-married\u2014and I\u2019ll put a picture in front of them of a couple in their 20\u2019s, newly- married, so in love\/feeling so high you can tell by the looks on their faces. Then I\u2019ll show a couple, walking down the road, holding hands, in their 90s. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cWhich one, to you, looks like that they are more in love?\u201d I\u2019m always so glad that they say, \u201cThe couple in their 90s,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014because they\u2019ve gone through so much; and yet, they are still together; because love is way more than just feelings. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> Yes; and that couple in their later years are committed, and they\u2019ve had to daily\/if not hourly self-sacrifice for one another. It is so interesting\u2014isn\u2019t it?\u2014love isn\u2019t a feeling;\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dave:<\/strong> \u2014it\u2019s not poetry, although those are <em>wonderful<\/em> things. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> \u2014and fun. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> You want that; but at the end of the day, it\u2019s not even about me; it\u2019s about <em>serving<\/em> someone I love. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Bob:<\/strong> I think, when you\u2019re <em>committed<\/em> to one another\u2014committed to your marriage, and you\u2019re sacrificing for one another\u2014I think what happens is: on top of that, come the feelings; they spring out of that\u2014that\u2019s kind of like the soil. In fact, the better feelings come out of that than just the momentary fleeting kind of romantic feelings that occasionally come our way. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br>We thought, with Valentine\u2019s Day coming up this weekend, we ought to revisit what real love is. We\u2019ve been listening this week to excerpts from the video series that we\u2019ve put together called <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, based on the book that I wrote that came out last year. This is where that series finds its conclusion\u2014with the last thing that the Bible has to say in its definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13\u2014\u201cLove never fails.\u201d That\u2019s what we\u2019re going to dive into today. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Excerpt from the <em>Love Like You Mean It <\/em>Video Series ]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> In the part of the country where we live, and where I\u2019ve lived most of my life, we may see flurries in the winter\/snow flurries; and we\u2019ll get an occasional snow fall maybe every other year; but it\u2019s not a place where you can count on snow every winter. As often as we might get a snow storm, we might also get an ice storm. Those come as frequently as snow storms do for us. In fact, right after Christmas, back in the year 2000, there was an ice storm in our city that knocked out power for almost the entire city for a couple of days. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat Thursday afternoon, I remember we put a fire in the fire place; and we got out flashlights and candles. It felt kind of like an adventure for a few hours. We have a gas stove, so we were still able to cook stuff on the gas stove\u2014we were glad for that\u2014but after a while, what started off as an adventure started to wear on you. It got pretty discouraging. About 10 o\u2019clock at night, we all decided, \u201cOkay; let\u2019s just go to bed.\u201d We got out extra blankets, because we didn\u2019t have heat in the house. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe next day, the power is still out. About halfway through the day\u2014this is not fun anymore, now, to not have any power\u2014we went a whole day that day into the evening with no power. Now, you\u2019re starting to get really discouraged and depressed; and \u201cHow long is this going to be? Should we drive out of town?\u201d Well, you can\u2019t really; because the roads are still iced over. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut the third day, you wake up to no power, and this no fun at all. Any adventure you had on that first night has completely drained; and you\u2019ve got nothing to do, and life is no fun. I remember thinking, \u201cHow did people live 150 years ago when nobody had electricity?\u201d I was realizing how accustomed I had become to being able to flick a switch, and a light would come on. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe\u2019ve all been through power outages or power failures; that\u2019s going to happen with thunderstorms. In any city, something is going to affect the power grid; you\u2019re going to lose power for a while. The Bible says about love that love <em>never<\/em> goes out\u2014never fails\/never falters\u2014even in a thunderstorm, love does not flicker. We sing about it in church: \u201cLove never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out.\u201d God\u2019s love for us is endless, and our love for one another ought to be endless as well. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, does that sound like you? Are you the kind of person whose love never fails?\u2014where it never runs out? Or are there times when you\u2019re all out of love? God\u2019s love for us is different than our love for one another; right? In the Bible, it says that, \u201cThe steadfast love\u201d\u2014steadfast: it never changes\u2014\u201cThe steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness.\u201d Our love is not like that; is it? Our love flickers, and falters, and fails. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis next part is <em>really<\/em> important, so stay with me here. You have probably not lived in a house, where the water supply is fed by a cistern. Most of us live in a place where our water comes into our house, either from a well or from a city water supply. A cistern is different. In the old days, gutters used to collect rain water; and that rain water would be diverted to a holding tank\u2014that was the cistern. That cistern would be the supply of water, either to irrigate the crops or\u2014if it went through a filter\u2014to supply water for household use. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEverything is fine as long as the cistern is full of water. As long as you\u2019ve got enough rain that feeds the cistern, then you\u2019ve got enough water to take care of the fields or take care of the house; but in a drought, when it hasn\u2019t rained for a while, the cistern gets low: you don\u2019t have water for your crops, for your fields, for your house. Now, the supply is out; and that\u2019s when things get hard. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, I\u2019ve heard people talk, for years, about how each one of us has a love tank in us; maybe, you\u2019ve heard this too. We have this bucket in us that longs to be filled up with love; and from the time we are born, our caregivers\/our parents\u2014those people who come around us\u2014they love on us, and our bucket gets filled up. Even as little babies, our love tank gets filled as people love on us; or if nobody is loving on you, then you wind up with an <em>empty<\/em> love tank. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAs you grow up, you love others; they love you. Sometimes, you\u2019re given love; sometimes, you\u2019re filling your own tank up\/your own bucket of love up. The idea here is that, in order for us to love others well, we have to have a supply of love in us. We have to have been loved well in order to love others well. We should be working to fill each other\u2019s love tank up. Well, the problem with that idea is that there is not enough love among us to keep filling one another\u2019s buckets up. There are always going to be people, whose love tank runs dry; because they didn\u2019t get the human love to fill them up that they need. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut along comes God, and He says, \u201cWhen you surrender your life to Me\u2014when you become a part of My family\/become one of My children; you become a child of God\u201d\u2014He says\u2014\u201cI have an endless supply of love that I will keep pouring into you so that the love in you will never run dry.\u201d As God\u2019s child, our rain buckets get filled up from <em>His<\/em> supply. Now, His love for us comes into us, and it is out of the abundance of love that He has for us that we\u2019re able to love other people. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, you may be thinking, \u201cWell, I\u2019m a child of God; but my love tank still runs dry sometimes.\u201d That\u2019s because something has crimped the line; something has kept you from <em>receiving<\/em> God\u2019s love for you\/from it being poured <em>into<\/em> you so that it\u2019s available to be poured out to others. It\u2019s not because God ran out of love; His supply never runs out. It\u2019s because you\u2019ve <em>not gone<\/em> to the supply and been filled up with God\u2019s love for you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen we\u2019re out of love, as children of God, the place to go is to Jesus; and say, \u201cI\u2019m out of love. I need to be <em>filled<\/em> again with Your love for me.\u201d We do that through spiritual disciplines: we do that through reading and memorizing passages of Scripture, meditating on the Bible, praying, worshipping, joining together with others in fellowship. These habits of grace\u2014as one author has referred to them\u2014these are the habits that God uses to keep pouring love and grace into us so that, as it\u2019s poured into us, it can overflow <em>out<\/em> of us to others. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis is God\u2019s principle for us being the kind of loving people He\u2019s called us to be. For our love to never fail, we have to be connected to the endless supply of love that God provides; and we have to make sure the hose is not crimped up, but that we keep it open\u2014that we\u2019re always drawing on His endless supply of love\u2014and that it is overflowing from us to others. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019ll illustrate this with a favorite illustration of mine. This is something that had a profound impact on me the first time I read it. It\u2019s a story of a woman, who lived in Holland in the 1940s. Her name was Corrie ten Boom. Corrie was part of a family that provided shelter and refuge for Jews, who were fleeing persecution from the Nazis at the beginning of World War II. It\u2019s talked about in a book that\u2019s been written called <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCorrie and her family gave shelter to these Jews; they were eventually found out. Not only were the Jews taken to concentration camps, but Corrie\u2019s family was arrested; and they were sent to the same concentration camps with the Jews that they had been hiding. Corrie and her sister Betsy were in their 50s at this time. They went to a number of different camps; ultimately, ended up in the Ravensbr\u00fcck Camp in northern Germany. There, they were prisoners; they were ill-treated, but they never lost their hope. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn fact, they had smuggled a Bible into the concentration camp; and they were sharing God\u2019s Word with other prisoners. Well, shortly before Christmas in 1944, Corrie\u2019s sister Betsy died. She had become weak in the concentration camp and, ultimately, passed right before Christmas. Fifteen days later, Corrie wound up being released from the concentration camp. It turned out later it was because of a clerical error. In fact, right after the New Year had begun, the women in Corrie\u2019s unit were all taken to the gas chambers and were exterminated. Corrie would have died if it had not been for that clerical error that saved her life. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tA few years after that, Corrie had begun speaking about her experiences and sharing about God\u2019s love and forgiveness in churches all around Europe. She found herself one night in a church in Munich, Germany, where she was preaching to a congregation about God\u2019s love and forgiveness. She tells the story of what happened that night at this church in Munich. Let me read this to you. Corrie says:\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt was in a church in Munich that I saw him: a balding, heavy set man in a gray overcoat, a brown felt hat clutched between his hands. People were filing out of the basement room, where I had just spoken, moving along the rows of the wooden chairs to the door at the rear. It was 1947. I had come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives. That\u2019s when I saw him, working his way forward against the others. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne moment, I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visor cap with skull and cross bones. It came back to me with a rush: the huge room with its harsh overhead lights, the pathetic pile of dresses and shoes at the center of the floor, the shame of walking naked past this man. I could see my sister\u2019s frail form ahead of me, ribs sharp beneath the parchment. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, this man was in front of me, his hand thrust out. \u201cA fine message, fr\u00e4ulein. How good it is to know that, as you say, our sins are at the bottom of the sea.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Corrie says:] And I, who had spoken so glibly of forgiveness, fumbled in my pocketbook rather than take his hand. He would not remember me, of course. How could he remember one prisoner among those thousands of women? But I remembered him and the leather crop swinging from his belt. I was face to face with one of my captors, and my blood seemed to freeze. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cYou mentioned Ravensbr\u00fcck in your talk,\u201d he said. \u201cI was a guard there.\u201d No, he did not remember me. \u201cBut since that time,\u201d he went on \u201cI\u2019ve become a Christian. I know God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well, fr\u00e4ulein.\u201d His hand came out again. \u201cWill you forgive me?\u201d I stood there. I, whose sins had again and again been forgiven, I could not forgive. Betsy had died in that place. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt could not have been many seconds that he stood there, with his hand held out; but to me, it seemed like hours as I wrestled with the most difficult thing I ever had to do. I had to do it; I knew that. The message that God forgives has a prior condition\u2014we must forgive those who have injured us\u2014\u201cIf you do not forgive men their trespasses,\u201d Jesus says, \u201cneither will the Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.\u201d Still, I stood there, with the coldness clutching my heart; but forgiveness is not an emotion; I knew that too. Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cHelp,\u201d I prayed silently. \u201cI can lift my hand; I can do that much. You supply the feeling.\u201d So [Corrie says] woodenly\/mechanically, I thrust my hand into the one stretched in front of me. As I did, an incredible thing took place. A current started in my shoulder, raced down my arm, sprang into our joined hands; and then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes. \u201cI forgive you, brother,\u201d I cried \u201cwith all my heart.\u201d For a long moment, we grasped each other\u2019s hands\u2014the former guard and the former prisoner. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI had never known\u2014[listen; she says]\u2014I had never known God\u2019s love so intently as I did then. [In her book, <em>The Hiding Place<\/em>, Corrie says] I discovered that, when God tells us to love our enemies, He gives, along with the command, the love itself. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think we have to remember that, in marriage\u2014our love will fail; God\u2019s love will never fail\u2014we\u2019ll run out; He never will. When you\u2019re out of love, God can supply the love you need so that your marriage can continue and go the distance. That love can grow; it can spring up in you like it did for Corrie. Love never fails; <em>that\u2019s<\/em> good news. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tFor more than 40 years, Mary Ann and I have had hanging in our bedroom our wedding invitation\u2014it\u2019s framed\u2014and at the bottom of the invitation is 1 John 4:19. It\u2019s a verse that says simply, \u201cWe love because He first loved us.\u201d That\u2019s the message of the Bible; God calls us to be dispensers of the love that He has poured out on us through His Son. His love never fails. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Studio] \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> What we\u2019ve been listening to\u2014Session 10 from the <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em> video series\u2014that we hope couples will go through this content: get the book\/go through the video series with other couples. In fact, we made this video series so that, if you don\u2019t have ten weeks to go through all of it, you pick Week 1 and you do Week 10. Then you can fill in the middle with whatever issues you want to work on; right? If you need to work on patience, or kindness, or not being rude or irritable, or commitment, you can decide what the middle parts need to be. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> By the end of the day, you\u2019re going to probably watch all of them\u2014[Laughter]\u2014because you\u2019re going to realize\u2014or actually your spouse is going to <em>tell<\/em> you, \u201cYou need to watch the patience one,\u201d\u2014or whatever. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes; right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ann:<\/strong> We all do. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dave:<\/strong> I mean, at the end of the day, though, what you said is so true with the foundation.

There is a workbook: some great discussion questions for you; some homework for you to do. We think this can have a powerful impact on your marriage and on the marriages of others you know if you\u2019ll just invite them to be part of this series with you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em> video series is available now from us, here, at FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.

In fact, I just found this out\u2014I found out that now through Valentine\u2019s Day\/so this week\u2014our team has been telling anybody, who has been calling to get the video series, that they are throwing in my book free. You get the video series and the book, <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em>, together when you go to our website, FamilyLifeToday.com, to order or when you call 1-800-FL-TODAY.

Why don\u2019t you invite some younger couples, who are in the first 10 years of their marriage, to join you to go through this study? I know you\u2019re thinking, \u201cThose younger people don\u2019t want to go through a marriage study with old folks like us.\u201d Well, actually, yes; they do. They want to hear the wisdom of people, who have figured out how to go the distance. You would be a great asset\u2014just think about four or five couples you know, who are younger couples, and make this your assignment this spring\u2014to take them through <em>Love Like You Mean It<\/em>.
