Love never fails!

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:3-7,8 MSG)

Love Of The Tribe

There is nothing like the love of the tribe!!! …except the Lover of The Bride — at Life Bible Church.

You are the definition of love

My beloved is beautiful and I was created to love you all my days. There is none like you!

To gaze upon your beauty overwhelms all my senses.

You are the very definition of Love.

You Fill Me

I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart, I’m writing the book on your wonders. I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I’m singing your song, High God. (Psalm 9:1, 2 MSG)

Love Extravagantly

When I was an infant at my mother’s breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. (1 Corinthians 13:11-13 MSG)

When that time finally comes to leave those “infant ways”…don’t fight it. Freely and joyfully give it up then… Love Extravagantly!!!

Returning

I take my heart and hold it in my hand, I raise it up and make my stand. I give it to you, I give all my heart and love to you.

Create The Atmosphere You Want Surrounding You

Create The Atmosphere You Want Surrounding You

What do you do If someone is trying their best to treat you horribly? Why not return it with the environment you want yourself surrounded in.

I personally want to be in the atmosphere of love every second of the day! I want Love all around me. I want the very presence of Love with me, in me, and filling me to a constant overflow into every other area of my life. How about you?

If you want a humble, respectful and honoring environment to surround you and envelope you…then you need to be humble, respectful and honoring around everyone you are with.

If that is what you want then you need to create that atmosphere by loving, honoring, or respecting others that same way, unconditionally, in every situation.

Create the atmosphere you want surrounding you.

Get this principle working in your life as soon as possible. Practice it every day…living it out… through the mud and on up above the Rocky Mountains. You will see a magnificent change in your life. You have to walk this out every second of the day, at work, at church, at the store, whether your talking over a stout or hiking Spencer’s Butte with friends. …anytime your with people…live this out and your life will be surrounded by that atmosphere and those that want that kind of atmosphere too. Wherever you are, live out the atmosphere you want your life engulfed in.

So one might ask themselves… Do I want to be known as a person of love? Do I want the kind of relationship with my Lover that I have seen only in a handful of people, in my entire life? Do I want the same kind of intimacy that King David had with God, the nakedness of nothing hidden in his heart? Do you want that intimate loving relationship with God too? Love others with that very love you want wrapped in…like a warm and cozy blanket.

If Love really is the atmosphere I want myself surrounded in, then I have to treat people with love…no matter how I feel about how I am being treated. You have to treat people the way you want to be treated. This kind of love is not dependent on being loved in return!

Let the fruit (or atmosphere) show by planting seeds of the fruit trees (or atmospheres) that you want surrounding you. You will soon have fruit all around you.

Create the environment you want surrounding you.

Waiting On God

I pray to God —my life a prayer— and wait for what he’ll say and do. My life’s on the line before God, my Lord, waiting and watching till morning, waiting and watching till morning. (Psalm 130:5, 6)
