Love makes little things grow, hate destroys even the big ones. Unknown

People can't really do much to you. They may like you or hate you, but God's opinion is the one that really matters, because He decides your destiny.

Do not reprove a mocker or he will hate you; reprove a wise person and he will love you.

Our Faith will be Rewarded

By Faith

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
...And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Hebrews 11:1,6 English Standard Version (ESV)

Just hold on to hope, acting out our faith... eventually what we are striving for, we will obtain. 

Commitment to obedience.

Obedience is a choice, a commitment we make, not just to make our lives better, but to fill our being with peace and blessings from God.

God's steadfast love...

Lamentations 3:22-23English Standard Version (ESV)

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
    his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

And the Greatest is Love

1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV)

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

We Love

Regard this day as a celebration of how God authored and expressed His love for us. Happy Heart's Day to all!
