This verse suggests something important about unfailing love. Paul described agape love as a supernatural love that only God fully possesses and only God can give. It's the New Testament word for God-love, just like chesed is the Old Testament word for God-love.
The only way we can love with agape is to pour everything else from our hearts and ask God to make them pitchers of His agape. Before we can even begin to give God-love away, we've got to fully accept it ourselves. To love others with anything close to God's love, we must be convinced that He loves us with perfect love.
-Beth Moore
