02.14.08: Light4theDay - "The Power of Love" (Viet) (<<) (>>) (lftd.org) (VN) (C1) (C2) (Ko) (Sp) (Fr) (It) (De) (Ru) (Ar) ("How To Receive Christ") 4 Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not proud. 5 It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails, But whether there are prophecies, they will cease; whether there are tongues, they will be stilled; whether there is knowledge, it will pass away. 13 And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is LOVE. -- Romans 8:38-39 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. + Jesus is my true Valentine His heart was pierced for me I cannot tell why He Loved me so well But He proved it on Calvary. + + God's Love wasn't put in our heart to stay; Love isn't Love until we give it away. + 
"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 "The love of JESUS" Hold on to the love of Jesus. For His strength and love is real. He captures our hearts, And within our spirits the blessed Savior heals. Hold on to the love of Jesus. For within Him comes divine peace, For within the presence of the Lord, Great suffering does cease. -- Shirley Beck "Come Lord Jesus This Valentine's Day" Come Lord Jesus on this Valentine's Day and be our cherished Guest.

Come Lord Jesus let Your love flow into our lives all across this nation. Let no one forget what Valentine's Day is all about we pray and ask you Lord. Send Your Spirit and captivate us as we wait for the day of faith's reward. Come Lord Jesus on this love filled day and we will humbly be your loving host. We want You, we praise You, we need You and it is You we love the most!! -- George Edward Noe 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. -- Song of Song 8:5-7
-- John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. -- 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." -- Ephesians 5:1-2 1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. -- Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. -- Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. -- 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. -- Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. -- Ephesians 4:2-3 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. -- Luke 6:27-28 (Mat.5:43-48) 27 But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 Bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. -- 1 John 4:7-19 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His One and Only Son into the world that we might live through Him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 We know that we live in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in Him and He in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in Him. 17 In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because He first loved us. -- John 13:34-35 34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another. -- John 15:9-15 9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in My love. 10 If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love. 11 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you. -- 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, 13 so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. -- Psalms 143:8 Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, For I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, For to You I lift up my soul. -- Psalms 33:5,12,18,22 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of His unfailing love. 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His inheritance. 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, 22 May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, Even as we put our hope in You. -- Psalms 48:9-10 9 Within Your temple, O God, we meditate on Your unfailing love. 10 Like Your name, O God, Your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is filled with righteousness. -- Psalms 85:7-13 7 Show us Your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation. 8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; He promises peace to His people, His saints -- But let them not return to folly. 9 Surely His salvation is near those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land. 10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. 11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. 12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. 13 Righteousness goes before Him and prepares the way for His steps.
