Love is......

......patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

"Rooted in Love"

I am on a mission today to scratch off a few small items on my "to-do-list". As I was knocking them out I ran across this verse printed on something.
" And I pray that you, being rooted and established in Love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long, and high and deep is the love of Christ"
Ephesians 3:17-18
We have different scriptures on 3x5 note cards placed around our home on the walls. It's been a good way to help us stay focused on something much greater than ourselves. When we are walking through a trial or maybe need reminding of how wonderful his blessings are to us. So with that in mind, I wrote this one down and placed it on my kitchen sink window.
Afterwards I went back to my task at hand... but my mind kept returning to this scripture. I began to ask my self "what does "rooted and established in Love" mean exactly?" I loved how it said that the LOVE would be what allows you grasp all these in depth things of Christ.
It's all about LOVE ! His Love is WIDE, LONG, HIGH, and DEEP! Once you have encountered it you will NEVER NEVER NEVER be the same
Man that makes me just smile.
