“Love is a Verb”

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

Mark 12:30-31

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

John 3:16

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.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

1John 4:7-8

Meditation:

The word “LOVE” appears in the Bible over 500 times…

Why are “Love’s” verses repeated so many times ?

Because LOVE is Extremely Important!!!

First of all, LOVE GOD with ALL your HEART, with ALL your SOUL, with ALL your MIND, with ALL your STRENGTH!!!! Second LOVE your NEIGHBOR as yourself...!!!

GOD LOVES everyone EQUALLY! HE SENT JESUS to pay in full for the sins of all mankind. !

Also, He gave us “free will” to choose between LOVE or Hate…

Choose LOVE...

The Heart of the BIBLE is John 3:16…

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

LOVE” is a VERB, not a noun…

Greatest commandment is Mark 12:30-31…

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

Pray before you read or meditate the scriptures…

Ask GOD: How can I apply these Bible’s verses in my daily life?

Most important put into daily practice GOD’s word …

More than ever before we need put LOVE into ACTION in our daily life…

LOVE is a VERB, not a noun. LOVE is ACTION!

IF we OBEY GOD, we will make difference in this hateful, discriminatory, racist, violent world…!

Description of God’s Love: 

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.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7:

GOD’s LOVE NEVER FAILS!!!!

If we put into practice God’s love we’ll become true followers of JESUS; peacemakers, who are kind,  believing in solidarity,  having empathy for others, and are care givers…

1 John 4:7-8:

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

If we put into practice this verse: we Will love, respect, accept, help, serve, and care about our neighbors…living in Peace and harmony…and we will become a light in the world’s Darkness…

Prayer:

Our father in heaven, Hallowed your name! Every day fill our hearts with your HOLY SPIRIT and HIS Fruits; LOVE, PEACE, JOY, and help us to PUT them INTO PRACTICE in our DAILY lives by continuing to spread your Word and the Gospel to the entire planet! Help us to be a light in the darkness! In JESUS’ name, we pray Amen!
