Great Love

The One who knows everything about us--our struggles, our thoughts, our doubts, our failures, our motivations, our every word, our self-righteousness, our self-centeredness is the One who loves us more deeply, unconditionally, loyally, and faithfully than any other. He is our Greatest Lover.

"This love of which I speak is slow to lose patience--it looks for a way of being constructive. It is not possessive; it is neither anxious to impress nor does it cherish inflated ideas of its own importance.

Love has good manners and does not pursue selfish advantage. It is not touchy. It does not keep account of evil or gloat over the wickedness of other people. On the contrary, it is glad with all good men when truth prevails.

Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen." (Phillips)
