LOVE

I ask him that with both feet firmly planted on love, you'll be able to take in with all Christians the extravagant dimensions of Christ's love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test the length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-18

LOVE

God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day---our standing in the world is identical with Christ's 1 John 4:16-17

LOVE

I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch
with everything there is to know of God. Then
you will have minds confident and at rest, focused
on Christ, God's great mystery. Colossians 2:2

LOVE

Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best--the sun to warm and the rain to nourish--to everyone. Matthew

LOVE

So, Chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline...Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. Colossians 3:12-14

LOVE

I love those who love me; those who look for me find me. Wealth and glory accompany me--also substantial Honor and a Good Name. My benefits are worth more than a big salary, even a very big salary; the returns on me exceed any imaginable bonus. Proverbs 8:17-19
