LOVE NEVER FAILS

LOVE NEVER FAILS!! Jesus is Love and no one has greater love than to give up one's life for one's friends!

Yes, that's right, He calls us friend... NOT just those who are of a certain age, but also the young, the teens, the in betweens and the young at heart; NOT just the white skinned, but the brown, black, light and every skin; NOT just the wealthy, but the medium income, the poor and the destitute; NOT just the church member, but the club member, the gang member, the parolee and the LGBT member; NOT just sober, but the drunk, the strung out, the weed smoker and pill popper...He went to The Cross for us ALL and He has proven His Love for us ALL...even in "this" mess and "that" mess and even in the "more" mess that we find ourselves in!

It is this same love that mends broken hearts, broken homes, broken relationships, and broken promises; It is this same love that we speak over our children, over our hopes and dreams and over our situations; It is this same love that late in the midnight hour, when we call upon THAT GREAT NAME that the devil will lose his grip, hold and influence on our children...when the impossible and improbable manifests into victory and triumph... when pain is changed to joy, when despair is changed into hope and when brokenness is made whole.

God's Word tells us of this PERFECT LOVE that He has for us and because of this love, I know that those that I love, He also loves and what He has done for me (even while I was still in my mess), he will do for you! His Word says that not only me, but my entire household will be Saved. So, no matter what it looks like right now, I'm trusting and believing on the love that is Christ Jesus!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.   LOVE NEVER FAILS. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a)
