| Love Aug. 27, 2008 |
1 Cor. 13:4 NIV Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. If there is anything that can mend a broken relationship, its love. If there is anything that can heal a broken heart, its love. If there is anything that can save a marriage, its love, and no matter what God blesses you with, its all out of love. Love is the one thing that can heal your heart when you forgive those that have hurt you. It may not be the love that you have for that individual, but its your love for God. Your love for him causes you to act in a manner that is pleasing to him, and when you please him, he acts on your behalf. There is no doubt that this is a cold world. Society has forgotten about the true meaning of love. For example, love seeks to benefit others, rejoices in the truth, is not puffed up, and suffers long, all which is not easy to do at times. Its easy to repay evil for evil, that takes no effort. But when you repay evil with good, that's the proof that we do not belong to the world, but to God, who is love and who wants us to show his love to a dying world. PRAYER FOR THE WEEK Lord, help me to love with your heart. I hope you enjoyed reading the word of God in a new light. Have a Happy Wednesday! God Bless, Minister Tommy and Sister Shatika Gray |
