True Love

The greatest of all things a believer can possess is love.

1 Corinthians 13:13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

If our love (charity) is right, faith is no problem. If our love is right, our hope is in the right place. If our love is right, we are right.

Love is the defining characteristic of Who God is--- . . . "God is love” (1 John 4:8).

God doesn’t have faith. Who would He place faith in?

God doesn’t have hope. What would the One Who controls everything have to hope for? Yet, God is love. We are never more God-like than when we learn to love like God.

Someone has said: "What is love?"

“It is silence when your words would hurt---It is patience when your neighbor's curt---It is deafness when a scandal flows---It is thoughtfulness for other's woes---It is promptness when stern duty calls---It is courage when misfortune falls."
