Embrace the love of God and express it freely in our lives, because life is too short, to let love go unspoken. As precious as it is, the most is made of life, when we share love.
The unconditional love of God gives us a sense of peace and joy, knowing that we are not alone. Expressing love offers us sense of connection and fulfillment. Through its expression, we are manifesting God’s love for us, and it is HIS love that gives life value, and the understanding of our own inherent worth, as HIS creation.
The qualities of love are expressed in (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), described as patient, kind, not envious or boastful, not rude or arrogant, not insisting on its own way, not irritable or resentful. This kind of love bears all things, believing with hope in all things, while enduring all things. In (1 John 4:16) we are taught that we can trust and depend on God’s love for us, and when we love others, we are living in God’s presence and allowing HIM to work through us. In a life with love, we are living with God and God is living within us. We become like flowers that only attract and never chase.
No fulfillment comes from worldly things, what the world gives us are more answers that we have to question. Offering us sometime sin, a kind of sin that sets your alarm clock for never. Never experiencing the life that is only found between the space of nothing and everything.
When those not in God’s will seek you out, the best place to be, is nowhere to be found. No longer living in places weighed down by the burden of sin.
Interwoven into our beliefs are blankets of warmth for those who believe, and are covered under its authority. A light, one that illuminates much brighter than the strong scent of temptation, which seems strongest in the dark.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
New International Version
4 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
King James Version
4 “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Living Bible
4 “Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, 5 never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. 6 It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. 7 If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.”
1 John 4:16

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”
