Learning You: The Love That Staysનમૂનો

There’s a scene in Learning You where Ty sits alone in his therapist’s office, weary and worn down. He says, “I can make everyone think I’m okay on the outside, but inside… I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”

It’s a raw confession that many of us understand. Sometimes love feels like failure. You pour yourself out—your energy, your time, your prayers—and nothing seems to change.

But God doesn’t measure success by visible results. The cross looked like failure, too. To the world, Jesus’ death was defeat. But in heaven’s eyes, it was the greatest victory of all—because love stayed.

Faithfulness is rarely glamorous. It often looks like showing up again when you’d rather quit, praying when you don’t feel heard, and believing when you can’t see. The promise of Galatians 6:9 reminds us that there is a harvest coming. Not to the strongest or the most gifted, but to those who don’t give up.

Every seed of love you plant matters. Every unseen act of faithfulness is growing something eternal. Don’t mistake silence for absence or waiting for wasting. God is working, even when you can’t see it.

Reflect:
Where have you mistaken obedience for failure?
What if faithfulness itself is the miracle?

Prayer:

Lord, help me keep loving even when results don’t show.
Teach me to measure success the way You do — by endurance, not applause.
Let me believe that no love given in Your name is ever wasted.
