” LOVE IS PATIENT AND KIND. LOVE IS NOT JEALOUS OR BOASTFUL OR PROUD OR RUDE. IT DOES NOT DEMAND ITS OWN WAY. IT IS NOT IRRITABLE, AND IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF BEING WRONGED. IT DOES NOT REJOICE ABOUT INJUSTICE BUT REJOICES WHENEVER THE TRUTH WINS OUT. LOVE NEVER GIVES UP, NEVER LOSES FAITH, IS ALWAYS HOPEFUL, AND ENDURES THROUGH EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.” 1 CORINTHIANS 13: 4-7
” THREE THINGS WILL LAST FOREVER- FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE- THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE.” 1 CORINTHIANS 13: 13
Our God in heaven makes it very clear the importance of love. God’s love is unconditional. (1 John 4:8). There is not a moment that goes by that our God does not love. Everything he does is done out of love. Even when God becomes angry with us his actions are an expression of his love. God’s love is always faithful to those who love him and obey his commands. Deuteronomy 7:9 tell us that he lavishes his love on those who love and obey him. When you and I become filled with God’s love we can do and see and understand things that we could not otherwise do, see or understand. When we become filled with his love we can endure pain, scatter fear, forgive others, avoid arguments, renew our strength, and bless and help others in ways that become even amazing to us. As he tells us in 1 John 4:18, there is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear. True love is powerful and never ending. He loves us with everything he is, and we should walk through each day displaying his love through our love for him and for those around us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
