[DEVOTIONAL] Kenneth and Gloria Copeland’s Daily Devotional – Love: The Secret of Success || December 9th, 2017

Fear of failure. It’s haunted all of us at some time in our lives. Popular psychology tells us to adjust to it.

If you want to know real success, you must learn to be moved and motivated by love. That’s how Jesus was when He was on the earth.

Even when John the Baptist was senselessly, brutally murdered and Jesus went away to be alone, He didn’t deviate from the way of love.

I used to wonder how Jesus could just turn away from that terrible crime and not retaliate.

Compassion doesn’t strike at the surface of things. It goes to the root of the problem. That’s why it always succeeds.

“But wait!” you may say. “I can’t operate like that. I’m not Jesus.”

Yes you can, because the Word of God says that His love has been shed abroad in your heart! (Rom. 5:5).

Commit to living the life of love today. Watch God turn failure into success at home, at work…in any situation. Love never fails!

Scripture Reading: Matthew 14:1-14
