Love is the Reason

~~~ 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13 ~~~ Psalm 33 ~~~ Luke 7:31-35 ~~~

You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Is life really about either or.
Why can't we have it all?

But wait Saint Paul sums it up for us
 in his first letter to the Corinthians...
Love is the key...love is all that matters...
love makes all the difference.

Paul explains in detail the full meaning of love.
Love is not just a word to be casually thrown about here and there.
Love has requirements. Love has responsibilities.
Love has consequences.

Without love there is no reason to go on living.
Love knows no bounds...no ending.
Love surpasses everything else in life.
We exist because of the love of the Father for us.
We are saved because of love.
We have the opportunity for eternal life because of love.

LOVE...
Love is patient, love is kind.
It is not jealous, love is not pompous,
it is not inflated, it is not rude,
it does not seek its own interests,
it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,
it does not rejoice over wrongdoing
but rejoices with the truth.
It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.

Each time this passage comes to you there is a new message.
Are you dealing with a family member
 who is trying your patience today?
Are you struggling with feelings of jealousy?
Are you acting and thinking in very selfish ways today?
Are you angry with a loved one today?
Are you holding on to past hurts today?

Love is stronger because...
love believes, hopes, and endures all things.
Love conquers all.
Nothing can stop the one who loves.
When we love we come closer to God
 that is why loving is the greatest commandment.

Without love we are empty.
Look for new opportunities to expand the love in your life.

The more you love the more Blessings
 will be realized in your life.

You are loved.
~~~Peace~~~
