A Note from Proverbs
In Proverbs we read,
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favour and a good name
in the sight of God and man."
Proverbs 3:3,4.
Here is a simple question. Do you Love?
Before you answer that question however read the following. It’s the apostle Paul’s definition of Love. It reads,
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, 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....
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13.
Jesus when asked,
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:36-40.
Now with these scriptures in mind do you truly love?
Take a few moments to think about it.
