LOVE

Love …. What is it really?? A feeling or a strong emotion or an act or good deed? Who do you love? Your children, your spouse, your family, your friends, your pets? What do you love? Your job your home, your hobbies, your possessions, your talents..??

We often use the word “love” lightly lightly - as in "I love pizza or "I love to shop!" True love is more than just a feeling - it is an action - of sacrifice and commitment and devotion. When we truly put God first and strive to love Him with "all our heart and all our soul and all our strength and all our mind" (Luke 10:27)... then all our "loves" are put into proper perspective and we can truly love others the way we were meant to.

What kind of love is in your home and life?  

"My dear friends, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3:18)


"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." (1 John 2:15-16)


"Jesus said, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." (John 14:23)


"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them" (Psalm 119:165)


"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield." (Psalm 5: 11-12)
