One Word For Love


Many waters cannot quench Love nor can floods drown it. Love is as strong as death. 
- Song of Solomon 8:7

Greater Love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. 
- John 15:13

A cord of three stands is not quickly broken.
- Ecclesiastes 4:12

Faith, Hope, Love, but the greatest is Love.
- 1 Corinthians 13:13

Love Never Fails.
- 1 Corinthians 13:8

God is Love.

So I walked around my Church and asked the question, in one word what is Love to you? When you think about it, there are many things you can describe what Love is. 

But here are some beautiful one word responses.

Love is:
Patience- Pastor Murphy, Nashville, Tennessee
Commitment- Officer Kevin, Grand Isle, North Carolina
Great- Bob, Winter Haven, Florida
Affection- Margret, Haines City, Florida
God- Pam, Atlanta, Georgia
Commitment- Glenda, Florence, Alabama
Jesus- Connie, Detroit, Michigan
Commitment- Rodney, St. Pete, Florida
Compassion- Dustin, Olathe, Kansas
Action- James, Lake Wales, Florida
Jesus- Jerie, Winter Haven, Florida
Patience- Adrian, Lake Wales, Florida
Family- Denise, Barranquitas, Puerto Rico

So what does this all mean? Well, of course Love! No, but seriously, it's about Loving God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind no matter what. It's about putting God first in everything, literally. In today's world you can get your focus off God and on things of this world. Your focus must be on eternal things. Not your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, kids, job, material things, your Instagram followers, your likes on social media etc.  
So ask yourself what are you motivated by when it comes to Love? 
What are your thoughts about Love? 

Did you know when we die, everything will be measured by what we did for Christ, nothing else? It's true.
Today, I ask you to pray and seek the heart of God in your life. God's word says each of us have to work out our own Salvation. When you stand before God, it will only be you giving an account for your life. Every word, everything you did. Make sure that nothing ever like ever comes between your relationship with The Lord.

Let's make everything we do be motivated by the Love we have for Jesus. 
Let's focus everything we do on eternity.
I Love you guys so much! I really do.
And God Loves you more. Like BIG Love.
Make Him proud in Jesus Name.

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: your works are wonderful. 
I know that full well.
-Psalm 139:14
