Love is more

He says
stay true
stay conscious
stay alert
stay focused
on ME --
The Lord Jesus Christ
throughout the day
every day
all days
in every situation
every circumstance
every event
all that comes.

He says
do not falter
do not hinder another
do not worry
do not become complacent
do not give in to your distresses
do not be selfish

He says
to Love
Love ME --
The Lord Jesus Christ
as He has loved You
and Love Another
as He has commanded You
Love Your Wife
Love Your Husband
Love Your Children

How can another believe
anything You say
if Your actions don’t speak lovingly

How will another know Jesus
really know Him,
and have a relationship with Him
If your life does not truly say what you profess

Love
is so much more than words
more than a special event
more than an occasional helping hand

It is every day
Every minute
Sleeping  and waking
Desiring  what is best for another
whatever it takes
whenever.

Love
is sharing
the feelings of despair , sorrow
and also of joy and laughter
the hurts and pains
emotional, physical, mental, spiritual

Love
is hearing
listening
understanding
being present  -  mind,  body  and soul,
in the here and now,
not some other place you think you’d rather be

Love
is treating another
the same as You would like to be treated

Love
is caring, sharing hugs and giving kisses
It is talking and  sharing opinions,
but not becoming angry or rude

Love
is praying for each other
and for your children
It is believing God answers prayers
It is believing prayers change things

Love
is
the Greatest Gift God gave us all.

Love
is remembering  Him and His Word

Deuteronomy 6:1-9 (paraphrased) tells us:
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength … Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
