“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, 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.
-1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Exhibiting love is the closest we can get to God on this side of Heaven. For we know through scripture that God is the manifestation of love. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. If God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
During times of adversity, I found God’s comfort through the love of the women in my life. My mother, wife, daughter, siblings, aunts and cousins give me strength, motivation and reasons to persevere when I feel like giving up. Knowing you are loved, thought of and cared for is a feeling not to be taken for granted. To those women I say thank you! I appreciate you! I love you!
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. It costs nothing to say I love you. Let those you love and appreciate know it.
