No matter what I say, what I believe, and what i do, I'm bankrupt without love. 1 Corinthians13:3b Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you heard fro the beginning his commeand is this: Live a life of love. 2 John 1:6 Life is About love. The whole law can be summed up in this ons command: Love others as yourself. Galatians 5:14 Your strong love for each other will prove to the world that you are my disciples. John 13:35 Three Important Truths: 1 The best use of life is love- most important part of life. Let Love be your greatest aim. 1 Corinthians 14;1a - life with outlove is really worthless. You must love the Lordyour God with all your heart...This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: loveyour love neighbor as your self. matthew 22;37-40 - love will last forever - leves a legacy - secret of lasting heritage * relationships are what life is all about. * wewill be evaluated on our love - quality of our relationships. Prayer: God, wether I get anything else done today, I want to make sure that I spend time loving you and loving other people- because that's what life is all about - I dont want to to waste this day. 2. The best expression of love is time When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. * When you give someone your time, you are making a sacrifice, and sacrifice is the essence of love. * You can give without loving , but you cannot love with out giving. * Love means giving up - yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, money, energy or time for the benefit of someone else. 3. The best time to love is now; Why is now the best time to love? Because we dont know how long we will have the opportunity. Circumstances change, people die, we have no guarantee of tomorrow.
