The Greatest Is Love

The Greatest Is Love
Love is all the things; that I’m not
Love is all the things; that I’ve forgot
Love is patient and Love is kind
But Love for me; never enters my mind
Love is never boastful; nor is Love rude
But I am conceited and don’t tell me what to do
Love never envies anyone’s circumstance
But I am selfish and quick to take offence
There’s no limit to Love’s faith, Love’s hope or endurance
Love sent His only Son; for my blessed assurance
There is nothing; Love can not face
Love even sent Jesus; to take my place
Love knows what we need; before we do
I wish I could demonstrate love; like Love loves you
Love is all the things; that I’m not
Love is all the things; that I’ve forgot
Love is patient and Love is kind
But Love for me; never enters my mind
Love is never boastful; nor is Love rude
But I am conceited and don’t tell me what to do
Love never envies anyone’s circumstance
But I am selfish and quick to take offence
There’s no limit to Love’s faith, Love’s hope or endurance
Love sent His only Son; for my blessed assurance
There is nothing; Love can not face
Love even sent Jesus; to take my place
Love knows what we need; before we do
I wish I could demonstrate love; like Love loves you

Irv this is a beautiful poem that tells us how our inner self is and how God loves us. Love has no boundaries and I remember one news story that I read that a mother was trapped under a debris with her six months old child. She could feed her baby as she was stuck so she slit open her main artery and fed the child with her own blood and both survived.Irv wrote:Love knows what we need; before we do

So let us pray that God give us the spirit of the love the same love that dwells in Him for us and make it our objective to love others the way Jesus loves us. AMENAnd Jesus said: "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" (Luke 11:13).

Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) wrote powerfully about the need for an intimate relationship with Almighty God, including this: “He who has a pure heart will never cease to pray; and he who will be constant in prayer, shall know what it is to have a pure heart.”
