Corinthians Thirteen Thirteen Niv

I feel this Bible verse is the absolute truth
God is love after all, and love is why we are here.
I believe we are living a human life to experience love,
To share love, to expand love, to increase love on this plane.

Corinthians 13:13 NIV  “And now these three remain…
Faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love”.
I do not think we can have faith or hope without love
Which is what makes love the greatest of the three.

Hope faith and love all three uplift us,
Bring us closer to God and others,
Help us inspire and enthuse others, but
Love can move things along faster than anything else.

Any mother, teacher, friend and good neighbor
Understands this, uplifting with this most powerful tool.
Love, which is God
For God is Love.

Caren, as I was reading this wonderful summary of I Cor 13, I was thinking the words 'God is love', and sure enough, you ended your poem with those very words. So uplifting, and a testimony to your faith. Blessings ~ John

Thank you so much John. I always think God is Love so this was what I was heading for the entire time; it makes me feel good that you felt this too.
