Love is beautiful—until it breaks your heart. Then it feels safer to shut down, build walls, and survive instead of truly live. But what if God doesn’t just want to help you cope with the pain…what if He wants to give you a brand‑new heart?
In Love Never Gives Up, Pastor Kevin Ortiz walks you through a journey of healing and restoration in the love of God. Drawing from Scripture and real-life pastoral insight, he unpacks the four key kinds of love—family love (storgē), friendship love (philia), romantic desire (eros), and God’s unconditional love (agape)—and shows how each one can be twisted by a broken world…and powerfully redeemed by Jesus.
You’ll discover:
How to recognize toxic atmospheres in your home and relationships—and invite God’s peace instead
Why your past doesn’t disqualify you from a healthy future
How God doesn’t just fix an old heart, but gives you a new one in Christ
Practical ways to forgive, set wise boundaries, and risk loving again
How to walk in a daily lifestyle of Spirit-led, Christlike love
Whether you’ve been wounded by family, friendship, romance, or even church, this book will help you hear God’s voice, receive His healing, and step into a new season where you don’t just talk about love—you live it. In Jesus, love really never gives up.
