In 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 00:00:31.29\00:00:34.50 we read that love is patient, love is kind, 00:00:34.53\00:00:37.63 it does not envy, it does not boast. 00:00:37.67\00:00:40.40 It is not proud. 00:00:40.44\00:00:41.77 It does not dishonor others. 00:00:41.80\00:00:43.77 It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. 00:00:43.81\00:00:46.88 It keeps no record of wrongs. 00:00:46.91\00:00:49.04 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 00:00:49.08\00:00:53.05 It always protects, always trusts, 00:00:53.08\00:00:55.72 always hopes, always perseveres. 00:00:55.75\00:00:58.79 Love never fails. 00:00:58.82\00:01:01.86 God the Father taught us to love by sending Jesus, 00:01:01.89\00:01:05.66 Jesus taught us to love by giving His life 00:01:05.69\00:01:08.53 and by commanding us to love each other. 00:01:08.56\00:01:10.80 The Holy Spirit teaches us to love one another, 00:01:10.83\00:01:13.40 by pouring out God's love in our hearts. 00:01:13.44\00:01:16.24 All the characteristics of love show up 00:01:16.27\00:01:18.44 in the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23. 00:01:18.47\00:01:22.04 Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, 00:01:22.08\00:01:25.95 faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 00:01:25.98\00:01:28.35 Dear Heavenly Father, 00:01:34.52\00:01:36.22 thank You for the love that You have given us 00:01:36.26\00:01:38.46 an example of how we are to love our neighbor. 00:01:38.49\00:01:41.30 I thank You that Your love is never ending. 00:01:41.33\00:01:43.80 In Psalms 108:4, 00:01:43.83\00:01:45.37 "For great is your love, 00:01:45.40\00:01:47.00 higher than the heavens, 00:01:47.04\00:01:48.47 your faithfulness reaches to the sky." 00:01:48.50\00:01:51.07 Thank You that we can always count on You 00:01:51.11\00:01:53.17 to be the loving Father we know. 00:01:53.21\00:01:55.48 Amen. 00:01:55.51\00:01:59.11 Heavenly Father, we come to You today praising Your holy name, 00:01:59.15\00:02:04.05 exalting You as the great creator, the God of love. 00:02:04.09\00:02:08.39 Lord, You have loved us enough to save us from the sin 00:02:08.42\00:02:11.89 that came into the world. 00:02:11.93\00:02:13.76 And we will never be able to really know 00:02:13.80\00:02:15.86 that kind of love and appreciate it 00:02:15.90\00:02:17.80 until we are with You in eternity. 00:02:17.83\00:02:20.37 Lord, You have told us to love You with all of our heart, 00:02:20.40\00:02:24.11 our soul and all of our strength. 00:02:24.14\00:02:26.68 And I pray that that is what we strive to do each day, 00:02:26.71\00:02:29.74 Lord, You are worthy of that love. 00:02:29.78\00:02:32.88 And I just pray that we would heed Your words in John 14:15 00:02:32.91\00:02:37.62 that tells us to love one another because if we love You, 00:02:37.65\00:02:42.72 we will keep Your commandments. 00:02:42.76\00:02:44.63 And You have commanded us to love one another. 00:02:44.66\00:02:47.60 What a wonderful thing it is, Lord, to love. 00:02:47.63\00:02:50.43 And yet the word is used so flippantly 00:02:50.47\00:02:53.13 and so wrong sometimes. 00:02:53.17\00:02:56.40 And I just pray that we would truly meditate on it 00:02:56.44\00:03:00.01 and that we would give You the love 00:03:00.04\00:03:01.44 that You deserve in our worship and our praise. 00:03:01.48\00:03:04.61 We thank You for mercy and grace. 00:03:04.65\00:03:07.02 And love is the one thing above all else that describes You, 00:03:07.05\00:03:12.02 our Lord and Savior. 00:03:12.05\00:03:13.66 And it's in Jesus' name, we thank You for these things. 00:03:13.69\00:03:16.36 Amen. 00:03:16.39\00:03:20.16 Our Father in heaven, we need Your love. 00:03:20.20\00:03:22.80 We recognize that we are constantly 00:03:22.83\00:03:24.60 in need of Your love. 00:03:24.63\00:03:26.50 As Your Word reminds us we indeed love You 00:03:26.53\00:03:29.44 because You first loved us and because You are love. 00:03:29.47\00:03:34.48 Dear Lord, pour out Your spirit 00:03:34.51\00:03:36.38 of love continually upon Your people 00:03:36.41\00:03:38.61 that we also project love to those around us. 00:03:38.65\00:03:42.22 May Your love be amplified, like a shockwave 00:03:42.25\00:03:44.62 across this lost and dying world, 00:03:44.65\00:03:46.89 that we may be reminded that love never fails. 00:03:46.92\00:03:50.83 Bestow upon us the power to love one another 00:03:50.86\00:03:53.29 as You have loved us. 00:03:53.33\00:03:56.06 Give us the spirit of sacrifice that self decreases 00:03:56.10\00:04:00.84 and the love of God increases. 00:04:00.87\00:04:03.51 Thank You, Father, for showing us what true love really is 00:04:03.54\00:04:06.78 by gifting us with Your Son. 00:04:06.81\00:04:08.78 Thank You, Lord, for it is in the name of Jesus 00:04:08.81\00:04:10.85 that we pray. 00:04:10.88\00:04:12.21 Amen. 00:04:12.25\00:04:13.58 I'm forgiven 00:04:18.49\00:04:21.02 Because You were forsaken 00:04:21.06\00:04:25.89 I'm accepted, 00:04:25.93\00:04:28.76 You were condemned 00:04:28.80\00:04:32.67 I'm alive and well, 00:04:32.70\00:04:35.44 Your Spirit is within me 00:04:35.47\00:04:39.21 Because You died 00:04:39.24\00:04:42.14 And rose again 00:04:42.18\00:04:44.25 Amazing love, 00:04:47.75\00:04:51.09 How can it be 00:04:51.12\00:04:55.09 That You, my King, would die for me? 00:04:55.12\00:04:59.26 Amazing love, 00:05:02.56\00:05:05.50 I know it's true 00:05:05.53\00:05:10.21 And it's my joy to honor You 00:05:10.24\00:05:15.91 In all I do, I honor You 00:05:15.94\00:05:21.88 Father in this time of all that's going on, Lord, 00:05:27.59\00:05:30.39 I pray that each and every one of us 00:05:30.43\00:05:32.13 would practice and show 00:05:32.16\00:05:33.76 what love really is by Your grace, God, 00:05:33.80\00:05:36.36 that we can reach out to the other people around us 00:05:36.40\00:05:38.80 and being example of You Father in their lives. 00:05:38.83\00:05:42.14 God, we love You, and we praise You 00:05:42.17\00:05:43.91 and we thank You for the love that You've shown us 00:05:43.94\00:05:46.71 each and every day, Lord.
