God is Love

LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND, DOES NOT ENVY, IT
   DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD.  IT IS NOT RUDE, IT
   IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT
   KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS.  LOVE DOES NOT
   DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH.  IT
   ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUSTS, ALWAYS HOPES,
   ALWAYS PERSEVERES.
                     ( 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 *NIV )

Our society today often confuses love with lust.  True love,
   like the kind God shows toward us, is directed outward toward
   others not inward toward ourselves.

       Therefore we are to show others God's unselfish love
   everyday.  For it is written; NOBODY SHOULD SEEK HIS
   OWN GOOD, BUT THE GOOD OF OTHERS.
   ( 1 CORINTHIANS 10:24 )   So; LET US NOT BECOME
   CONCEITED, PROVOKING AND ENVYING EACH OTHER.
   ( GALATIANS 5:26 )  Instead we should be; BE KIND AND
   COMPASSIONATE TO ONE ANOTHER, FORGIVING EACH
   OTHER, JUST AS IN CHRIST GOD FORGAVE US.
   ( EPHESIANS 4:32 )

       Also, remember that there is joy to be found in
   giving to others without expecting anything in return!  After all
   that kind of unselfish love is the kind that God fills His
   Children with, and expects His Children to show to one
   another as well.   Amen.

       Have a wonderful day my friend, and let your love light
   shine brightly.  For after all; GOD IS LOVE. ( 1 JOHN 4:16 )
   and you are His Child!  So smile it's going to be a wonderful
   day!
