The power of love (a snippet)

Hey loves! Hello there! L-O-V-E...L-O-V-E...LOVVVVEEEE.  Mmmm...so many wonderful connotations are associated with this word for me.  Romantic relationships, family relationships, real friends, passion for an organization/field of study/ministry/sport/artist....so many things.  But the REAL meaning of love that really distinguishes it from others is the genuine action that comes from LOVE.  The Bible on love:


Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; itdoes not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never ends...

-1 Corinthians 13:4-8

A very familiar passage but still VERY important.  Something else on love from the Good Book: 

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. -1 John 3:18

Of course there are MANY more verses of Scripture about love.  One of my favorite examples of love (other than God sending Christ to die for us)  comes from Colleen Townsend Evans in her book, Love is an Everyday Thing. Ms. Townsend describes the ordeal of a woman who's husband leaves her for another woman.  Ok, so maybe you think: typical.  He probably got sick and the ex-wife took care of him.  But this story is soooo much more compelling...
