As we celebrate "LOVE" this month, it's always wonderful to refresh our souls with God's word on the subject. Here are just a few of the nearly 400 scriptures (these from the New Living Translation) that give us just a glimpse at God's wisdom and truth on the subject of LOVE…
"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."
"Jesus replied, 'The most important commandment is this: …The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. The second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.'"
"So now I (Jesus) am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should LOVE each other."
"We LOVE Him, because He first loved us."
"Dear children, let's not merely say that we LOVE each other; let us show the truth by our actions."
"There is no greater LOVE than to lay down one's life for one's friends."
"Your LOVE for one another will prove to the world that you are my (Jesus') disciples."
"Three things will last forever - faith, hope, and LOVE-and the greatest of these is LOVE."
