Love never faileth . . .
–1 Corinthians 13:8

The first essential for a happy Christian home is that love must be practiced. Homes that are built on animal attraction and lust are destined to crumble and fall. Love is the cohesive force that holds the family together. True love contains an element of spiritual mystery. It embodies loyalty, reverence, and understanding. Love imposes a tremendous responsibility on all members of a family, but it is a responsibility accompanied by glorious rewards. “Love,” says the Bible, “even as Christ . . . loved the church, and gave Himself for it.” How did Christ love the church? He loved it despite its faults, its mistakes, and its weaknesses. True love does not fail. It loves despite personality defects, physical blemishes, and mental quirks. Love is deep, abiding, and eternal. Nothing can bring a sense of security into the home as true love can.

Prayer for the day

Help me today, to listen, to love and care for my loved ones with a heart that is made sensitive by You, Jesus.

God knows that I love him first and my family second. They are my rock here on earth, while God is my rock in heaven.

When true love for others "moves in" to a believers heart . Bitterness , envy , pride ,jealousy , hatred, etc............."moves out"

It takes far less emotional energy to Love someone than it does to dislike them. Hatred and fighting, with whomever, is extremely stressful and not what Christ is all about. Love is, first and foremost, what he teaches.

Has God spoke to you about 2011-2013 what is in store for America and around the world. I know if you are saved you have nothing to fear but fear sometimes grips me. My loved ones are not ready. Do you think doomsday will come in 2011 I don't because the world is watching for it. The bible says no man knows the time or day. And it will be a time when no one expects it. Kelly

Abram loved Sarai. I doubt his love for Abram slept with Hagar, and she conceived. After Sarai passed away Abram took another wife, Keturah.
