Love

"... love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength." - Mark 12:30

"If you love Me, keep My commandments." - John 14:15

"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." - John 15:12

"Shouldn't I Love You More"

You are faithful to Your promises.
You will never leave me.
You have a home in heaven for me.
You will destroy the wicked one.
You cause the sun to rise each day.
You give me life to live.
You died on the cross for my sins, and rose again!
Shouldn't I love You more than anyone or anything?

Jesus, my Lord and my God - I love YOU more!

Ephesians 5:25
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, "

John 13:34
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another."

Romans 13:8-10
"Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, 'You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet,' and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."

1 Corinthians 13:1-13
"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
