THIS IS LOVE: NOT THAT WE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT
HE LOVED US AND SENT HIS SON AS AN ATONING
SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS. DEAR FRIENDS, SINCE
GOD SO LOVED US, WE ALSO OUGHT TO LOVE ONE
ANOTHER.
( 1 JOHN 4:10-11 *NIV )
In this World today many do not know what true love
is. They confuse it with lust and other Earthly values.
After all, true love is utterly unselfish; it is giving love to
another without expecting anything in return.
The Apostle Paul taught us what real love is when he
wrote: "LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES
NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD.
IT DOES NOT DISHONOR OTHERS, 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." ( 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 )
So as our Savoir Jesus Christ said, "AS THE FATHER HAS
LOVED ME, SO HAVE I LOVED YOU. NOW REMAIN
IN MY LOVE." ( JOHN 15:9 )
Now have a Wonderful day, and may it be filled
with Love, Hope and Faith! Amen.
With My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
