38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Matthew 22:36-40 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ (Deut. 6:5) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Levi. 19:18) 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

"What kind of love is this" God left His throne came to His footstool God become man to die that I might live What kind of love is this Jesus Christ, God in the flesh I want to know this God For God so love the Me... He came to reconcile me to Himself. What kind of love is this God become man -- Dee --------------------- Love - is not a power that you can measure. Love - cannot be buried, like hidden treasure. Love - is not the past, it does not die. Love - is not the future, wished for in a sigh. Love - is now, just a Prayer away. Love - is the power of God, to get you through each day. -- Janice Hingley -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13 Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud. It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is LOVE. "Blanket Our Loved One in Prayer!" Blanket our loved ones in prayer! Cover them with care and concern; Lift them with love to the Father Above; With faith let our hearts for them yearn... Blanket our loved ones in prayer! Tuck them in with faith each day; Leave them with God, believing He loves and will show them The Way... Blanket our loved ones in prayer! Each moment, each hour of each day Intercede and cover in loving prayer; Someday we will reap what we pray... Blanket everything that we do With each deed and each motive so true; For as we blanket with care Our loved ones in prayer, Our Heavenly Father will blanket us, too! -- Sharon A. Maxwell Familiar acts are beautiful through love. -- Percy Bysshe Shelle "The Power of Love" Someone cares and always will, The world forgets but God loves you still, You cannot go beyond His Love No matter what you're guilty of -- For God forgives until the end, He is your faithful, loyal friend, There is no shelter any place That can escape His watchful eye, For on the earth and in the sky HE'S EVER PRESENT and ALWAYS THERE To take you in His tender care And bind the wounds and mend the breaks When all the world around forsakes . . . SOMEONE CARES and LOVES YOU STILL And GOD is THE SOMEONE who always will. -- Helen Steiner Rice "My original Valentine" Roses and candy Rubies and pearls All of the diamonds In all of the world Could never compare To that glorious time When I looked in Your eyes And said "Will you be Mine?" You smiled and said "Yes! I'm so glad that you asked!" Your arms wrapped around me And I felt whole at last In the warmth of Your presence The love of my life.

Mine is a love that this world can't define, I'd never leave you if you would be mine." Now I have a Valentine that I love more, God said, "I love you, you're worth dying for...

"A Little Christian Love" Sometimes, just a smile With a little Christian Love, you see Tells, someone in trouble You can have God's Love and Peace, like me, Just a little Christian Love Flowing on out from you Tells someone who's hurting I really do care, I do, And when, one is broken hearted And life, seems to have gotten them troubled so They need, some encouragement and some Love So they, can get back up and go, A smile, a hug, a helping hand Can just be, what they need So long as it's wrapped, in God's Love A rewarding, Christian deed, So don't keep it, to yourself This Love of Jesus, inside of you Let it flow out, like a river Helping and Encouraging, others too. -- Richard Dottery -- John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. -- 1 John 4:7-14 7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent His Son as the Savior of the world. - -- Song of Song 8:5-7 Under the apple tree I woke you, In the place where you were born. Close your heart to every love but mine; Hold no one in your arms but me. Love is as powerful as death; Passion is as strong as death itself. It bursts into flame And burns like a raging fire. Water cannot put it out; No flood can drown it. But if any tried to buy love with their wealth, contempt is all they would get. "Loving You" My heart is full of love, it's true. And I wish to share with you My joy of this and sheer delight, For I love you with all my might. Whenever my thoughts are only on you, Things soft and warm come into view, And beautiful hearts flow all around, Filled with a joyous, glorious sound. The song of Love is everywhere, Filling our hearts, floating on air. Joyously the Angels sing, For Love of God is everything. And that's my Love for you, my dear, Love conquers all, even fear, And so I say to you today, I hope you Love me too, I pray. -- Unknown "SONG OF LOVE" Two hearts united Growing within each other Emitting understanding and warmth Love is pure and precious Eternal and everlasting Two souls embracing each other with tenderness and hope Sharing and giving Living and loving Throughout all Eternity. -- Nina D.T. A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears. -- Woodrow Wyatt Whoso loves Believes the impossible. -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning Love is too young to know what conscience is. -- William Shakespeare The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much. -- Amelia Barr Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. -- Song of Solomon 2:5 When first we met we did not guess That Love would prove so hard a master. -- Robert Bridges All the little emptiness of love! -- Rupert Brooke Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit. -- Peter Ustinov Immature love says: "I love you because I need you."

H. Lawrence Let those love now who never loved before, Let those that always loved now love the more. -- Parnell Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above; For love is heaven, and heaven is love. -- Scott Love without faith is as bad as faith without love. -- Beecher We love in another's soul whatever of ourselves we can deposit in it; the greater the deposit, the greater the love. -- Irving Layton Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction. -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry To have happiness with a man, she needs to understand him deeply, more than love him. To have happiness with a woman, he needs to love her deeply, more than understand her. Real Love never has to say you are sorry. (Viet-Valentine - 021407v.htm) |
