Love fails us all when we realize that there is no one true love that can satisfy all our longings. We can respond by recasting the hopes of past relationships on new ones or by forgoing the idea of love altogether. While the latter hardens our hearts and make us incapable of loving or being loved, the former always leaves us deceived and disappointed. Only the unfailing love of Christ is worth trusting in a world of heart-breakers and the lovelorn.
