LOVE AS THE WEAPON OF CHOICE<\/a> – We know from practical experience that love is easy when the two parties are in synch; to love the person who loves you is a comfortable and warm place to be. Let\u2019s move away from the romance novel into real life. Life is full of unlovable people. How do we live a life of peace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LOVE<\/a> – My life is not a story of condemnation, but a story of love. The very essence of my relationship with Christ is not my sin, but His love. It defines everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW YEARS \u2013 GOD SAID \u201cIT WAS GOOD\u201d<\/a> – God does not waste time making second rate things or moments without meaning. God did not create a person or moment on this earth that He did not say, \u201cit is very good\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Corinthians 13:13<\/strong>, \u201cAnd now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
