LOVE - The Gift That Keeps on Giving

By Robert H. Schuller


What is the secret of real joy? Christians know the answer—it's the love that bubbles up from deep within your heart and soul when you tear yourself loose from selfishness and bear the burdens of someone else, caring enough to share yourself with that person. Then love activates and gives you the results of joy.

So, LOVE is, indeed, the secret to real joy.

Each of us distinguishes ourselves as individuals. Some have special talents. Others attract friends easily. Still others accomplish amazing achievements. But Christians should all be distinguished by the love they give away. It should burst forth with such enthusiasm that it could never be hidden. It should be patient, kind, trustworthy, persevering.

You won't even have to tell people that you love Jesus Christ. You won't be able to keep it secret, because love will give you away!
