Love Has Come

I want you to think about all the people in your life that you love.

Now think about how you treat those you love.

Are you angry when they don't do something for you?

You get irritated when they keep nagging at you?

We all think we know what love is, yet when we look at what the bible says, we don't.


1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Love is not a mood. God is love! When something happens, sometimes we blame God for our troubles, dilemma's, or even sometimes death or sickness. Let me assure you my friend, We are God's children. He doesn't want us to hurt, get sick, or suffer.

Think about how much you love your children, step-children, grandchildren, or even niece/nephew. Now take that and multiply it by infinity! That is only a tid- bit on how much God loves us!

John 10:10
The Thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.

Jesus said this in John 10:10. This is proof that the devil will "steal, kill, and destroy." The devil wants to see you at your worst. He wants you to suffer. God loves us. He wants us to be faithful and live happy lives.

We should love one another as God loves us. How do you start loving everyone unconditionally you ask?

Start with your own family. Think about it, when you have company over do you not offer your company a beverage or snack? When they need something do you not get it for them? You treat your company with respect.

Now you need to treat your family the same way! Start with your family. Work your way up. If you let God work through you then you will find this easy. Again read the bible which is your manual! Pray to God, he wants to hear from you! Do what you can and let God do the rest!

Mark Schultz - Love Has Come
From the album Come Alive

VERSE 1:
I know this life is filled with sorrow
And there are days when the pain just lasts and lasts But I know there will come a day When our tears are washed away With a break in the clouds His glory coming down And in that moment

CHORUS:
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That God is love
And love has come for us all
Every heart set free
Every one will see
That God is love
And love has come for us all

VERSE 2:
For anybody who has ever lost a loved one And you feel like you had to let go too soon I know it hurts to say goodbye But don't you know it's just a matter of time 'Til the tears are gonna end You'll see them once again And in that moment

BRIDGE 1:
Oh, and on that day
We will stand amazed
At our Savior, God and King
Just to see the face
Of amazing grace
As our hearts rise upand sing

BRIDGE 2:
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Thank You for the cross
Singing glory, glory, hallelujah
Christ has paid the cost
