LOVE REMAINS.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13.

LOVE in a Bottle?

If you could bottle up Love
and sell it by the drop;
It'd be too expensive, probably a crock.
People would spill it and some would abuse;
That precious substance, that love in a tube.

There's be weird commercials, and so many brands;
"Buy love here, it's cheaper than stands."
Everyone would buy, except those who couldn't;
Then there's be those who'd steal it,
and others who wouldn't.

Crime would be rampant and love would be cheap,
It'd lose all it's meaning,
There's be nothing to reap.
But Love comes from within, true Love from above;
From our Heavenly Father,
the one who invented this Love.

You see it's not about having, taking, and such;
or buying and selling, or just for a crutch.
Love's about giving when there's nothing to give;
For then they'll be living, and for something to live.

Life's full of Mystery, Love is one of those;
The other's are many, there's faith and then hope.
But the greatest of these was given to us;
By our very Creator that gave life and trust.

Love was shown one day on a cross;
Held high on a hill battered and mocked.
We abused it then and some still do now;
But He still forgives us, We know not why or how.

"Forgive them Father, they know not what they do."
It's a convicting statement, that burns so true.
Love was so awesome, but we killed Him the same,
Then all of a sudden Love again reigned.

He came once again to give us a chance;
To have this True Love, not just a glance.
He gives and He gives and then gives some more.
Love could never be bought from a store.

So next time you're down and moping about;
You think there's no Love and you're having your doubts.
Remember the time Love was slew on a tree
Then just remember
"He did that for me !!!"

Every now and then it’s nice to have a little reminder of exactly how much love surrounds us in the world. A loving couple, the love between a parent and child, or even the love between a kid and their favorite pet — today we’re showcasing it all in a special photo stream honoring love. So go ahead — give it a look, smile, and then go tell someone that you love them today.
