'Love is patient,kind,doesn't envy or boast;isn't rude or self seeking,keeps no record of wrongs,rejoices in the truth,protects and trusts;it perseveres' (1 Cor.13:4-7)
'Loved with everlasting love,led by grace that love to know. Spirit,breathing from above,Thou hast taught me it is so.
O this full and perfect peace,O this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease I am His and He is mine' (G W Robinson)
We all need to love and be loved! Love is a universal need. God has shown His Love in sending Jesus. That love is freely offered to all. All who receive Christ,receive love that grows day by day. His love develops within us,as we abide in Him and He abides in us. That love expresses itself in joy,peace and the other fruit of the Spirit. Have we arrived? Not yet! But we follow on to be made fully perfect and mature. God will 'complete the work He has began in us!
