"Life is too short for fights, and people are too precious for anger, and in the end the only thing that really solves it all is "

~ Max Lucado | Chapter 13: Love is a Package Deal ❤

Heard about 1 Corinthians 13? 🤔

More than 1 person has hailed 1 Corinthians 13 as the finest chapter in the Bible. Now I challenge you to replace the world 'love' in this passage with your name. 😉

~ Fatima is patient. Fatima is kind. Fatima does not envy, she does not boast, she is not proud. Fatima is not rude, she is not self-seeking, she is not easily angered, she keeps no records of wrongs. Fatima does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Fatima always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Fatima never fails. ~

Wait! Hold on! Those words are false. Fatima is not patient. Fatima is not kind. Fatima does envy and so on and so fort. I can't be as perfect as being like that no matter how hard I try. It set a standard I could not meet. No one can meet it. No one, that is, except Jesus. 🤗

Does this passage not describe the measureless love of God? Let's insert Christ's name in place of the word 'love', and see if it rings true:

~ Jesus is patient. Jesus is kind. Jesus does not envy, He does not boast, He is not proud. Jesus is not rude, He is not self-seeking, He is not easily angered, He keeps no records of wrongs. Jesus does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Jesus always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Jesus never fails. ~

INDEED!! Jesus is LOVE! GOD is LOVE! 🤗☝💓 Let this scripture remind us of a love we cannot produce, let it remind us of a love we cannot resist -- GOD'S LOVE. ❤

Some of you are so thirsty for this type of love. Those who should have love you didn't. Those who could have loved you didn't. You were left at the hospital. Left at the altar. Left with an empty bed. Left with a broken heart. Left with rivers of tears. LEFT WITH YOUR QUESTION "DOES ANYBODY LOVE ME?"

Please listen to heaven's answer: GOD LOVES YOU. PERSONALLY. POWERFULLY. PASSIONATELY. Others have promised and failed. But God promised and succeeded. HE LOVES YOU WITH AN UNFAILING LOVE. AND HIS LOVE? IF YOU WILL LET IT? IT CAN FILL YOU AND LEAVE YOU WITH A LOVE WORTH GIVING. 💝

So come! Come thirsty and drink deeply. 😇☝❤
