Love

IF I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND CAN FATHOM ALL MYSTERIES AND ALL KNOWLEDGE, AND IF I HAVE A FAITH THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I AM NOTHING."
( 1 CORINTHIANS 13:2 *NIV )

The Apostle Paul wrote these words almost 2,000 years ago, and they still apply to God's Children today! For it is written: GOD IS LOVE. WHOEVER LIVES IN LOVE LIVES IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM."
( 1 JOHN 4:16 )

When we live a life filled with love for each other we become filled with the fruit of the Spirit! And "THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF-CONTROL."
(GALATIANS 5:22)

It is then that the emptiness we had within disappears, for it is then that GOD is in us,
and we are in HIM!

So "I PRAY THAT YOU, BEING ROOTED AND ESTABLISHED IN LOVE, MAY HAVE POWER, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SAINTS, TO GRASP HOW WIDE AND LONG HIGH AND DEEP IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST, AND TO KNOW THIS LOVE THAT SURPASSES KNOWLEDGE --THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO THE MEASURE OF ALL FULLNESS OF GOD." ( EPHESIANS 3:17-20 )

Have a tremendous day knowing that God Loves You, and is always there with you as well!
