Love
Love is such a wonderful feeling
when you find someone who is true.
Love can tear down walls of stone;
it can make you someone new.
Love can build you up inside,
like you never thought it could;
Love can repair old wounds,
heal you, make you feel so good.
God’s love is seen in every mighty miracle –
sometimes it’s as simple as a flower.
Love can fill you up with life
as you’re drenched with an April shower.
Love can take you to the highest heights,
hold you, and never let you fall;
Love can be in the gentlest, softest word,
yet love can conquer all.
Love can be expressed in many ways –
it may mean different things to you:
Love is in the very words you say,
but it’s also in what you do.
God has given us a precious gift;
His infinite love is so true:
He sent His Son to be with us,
to suffer and die for you.
If love is glimpsed in the way we live,
how we react, how we share,
Maybe it’s time to reach out and give –
live love, show someone you care.

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
1 John 3:16-18 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1 John 4:16-19 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.
