THE LOVE THAT WILL NOT FAIL

The message was delivered on Sunday, July 27th, 2025, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister. DESCRIPTION: What if the greatest wisdom about love came from children? When 4 to 8-year-olds were asked "What does love mean?" their answers revealed profound truths that adults often miss. From a grandfather painting his arthritic wife's toenails to a little boy who simply sat and helped his grieving neighbor cry, these stories illuminate love's true nature. But here's the deeper question: Are you truly listening to where love is leading your life? This message explores how love becomes our most reliable compass through life's toughest decisions - from family conflicts to impossible choices. What happens when we make love our lens for every situation? Through the touching story of "Chicken Farmer, I Love You" painted on a small town rock, discover how authentic love persists even when circumstances change, people move away, or others try to paint over it. The message that appeared years later - "Chicken Farmer, I Still Love You" - reveals something eternal about love's nature. Why do some people carry deep regrets while others find peace in their choices? The answer might surprise you. When facing your most difficult decisions, there's one question that cuts through confusion and brings clarity: What would love have you do? Will choosing love always guarantee the outcome you want? What happens when love demands sacrifice, patience, or forgiveness? How can we live with "indiscriminate love" in a world full of conflict and pain?
