“When we all think about ‘Love’ usually it’s thought about the most on Valentine’s day..we think of the hearts, the gifts, the candy, of course the flowers..Amen..and for most they think about marriages..friendships and commitments..but this morning I was thinking about love..and at how most of the time it is only on Valentine’s day that we think of love and gifts and all of them wonderful things..and of course they are nice..don’t get me wrong..but I wondered if as well when we think of love..do we think of the Lord?..do we think of Jesus?..our Father in heaven?..because when love is our focus in our lives..we live a life differently than what we would if we only think about it on Valentine’s day..Amen..for He alone changes us and our love that we have for others..because Valentine’s day is great don’t get me wrong..we all love the candy, and the card..and so forth..but honestly love should be a daily thing..in our lives..with everyone that is in our lives..not just a once a year type of thing..but I pray we think about the Lord more so than anything else especially when we associate love with it..Amen!”

“For I tell ya guys there is no love like our Lord’s love that He has for us..there is no love any greater than our Father’s love..for His love is like none other..for you see the word of God says that while we were yet sinners that He chose to go to Calvary and die there for you and for me..Romans 5:8..Amen..for He died and rose again three days later defeating death, hell and the grave..for you and for me that we could have a forever and all eternity with Him in heaven..Amen..for without the shedding of His blood there would be no remission for our sins..Hebrews 9:22..see He paid that ultimate sacrifice that we could be free and live forever and ever in total and complete freedom..see we had to have that spotless lamb to cover it all..we had to have Jesus and His love to cover us..Amen..so when we think about love..my heart is that we think of Jesus..for you see the word says that God is love..1 John 4:8..Amen..He is that real, true blue love..for His love never changes towards us..no matter what..His love forever and ever stays the same..Oh, what a Savior it is that we serve..Amen!”

“For scripture says this..”And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love..1 Corinthians 13:13..Amen..for you see love is what covers it all..love is what stops the hatred and the strife..1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12..love is what holds on through everything..love as it says in the book of 1 Corinthians..suffers long, it is kind; it envies not; it vaunts not itself up, it is not puffed up..nor does it behave itself unseemly, seeks not it’s own, it’s not easily provoked, thinks no evil..rejoices not in iniquity, but it does rejoice in the truth..it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and it does endure all things..1 Corinthians 13:4-7..Amen..for without it the world grows dim..for without it we all seem to fade away..for without it we do grow cold and ever so weary..Oh, but with it..it is amazing at the changes that begin to happen and take place where love is felt and where love is abiding..for love is the greatest and most rewarding gift that we can ever receive or ever give to anyone else in all of this world..for love is the key and the answer to it all..so share the love that so freely has been given to you..for someone out there needs that love..and who knows maybe just maybe that someone is standing right there next to you..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
