red-rose-1347966854SDsLove is real! God is the only source of that real love and it cannot be changed. Love is who God is, it is His character. He gives mercy as an expression of His love. Everything He has done for us in the past, anything He does for us today or hope to do in the future, it is from His heart of love. Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never fails! Read (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

The greatest demonstration of love comes when you willingly lay down your life for someone, without ever second guessing yourself. It becomes your mark of identification, first as an example of Christ and then as a one of His disciples.

“Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you…” ~ John 15:13-14

It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without that dominance of God’s love permeating the heart and lives of His people. It is what I call the power of love you just cannot resist!  And so with the kind of power as it emanates from love, let us be encouraged to do as we’ve been commanded.

Love No Matter What

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” ~ Dalai Lama

“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly…Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.” ~ Susan Polis Schutz

Love in hard times

“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate you friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.” ~ Mary Anne Radmacher

Love What You Do

“Love is shown in your deeds, not in your words.” ~ Fr. Jerome Cummings “..if you take pains and learn in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard; but when you work..if you love your work, you will find your reward in that.” ~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Love Letting Go

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

“If we continue to think and live as if we belong only to different cultures and different religions, with separate missions and goals, we will always be in self-defeating competition with each other. Once we realize we are all members of humanity, we will want to compete in the spirit of love.” ~ Muhammad Ali

This then is the power of love! We love, because He [God] first loved us.

    Love, and especially compassionate love, are most certainly necessities! We sure could use more of them throughout the world. Imagine the changes if everyone felt that way! #sitsblogging

    I have trouble commenting on posts about your God and don’t wish to offend anyone – I did enjoy the quote from Dalai Lama though. 🙂

    Yes, God’s love is the biggest of all! It is His love that allows us to love, forgive, and care about others. 🙂 Without His love, we wouldn’t know love! His love must be put first always!

    Wonderful post. I just wrote a post about a perfect God in a marriage of two imperfect people. His love can and will conquer all. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful! So fitting for Valentines Day too.

  8. WendysHat // February 15, 2014 at 3:09 am //

    Such beautiful words and thoughts. So perfect for Valentines Day too.

  9. Tara @ Keep Moving Forward With Me // February 14, 2014 at 10:05 pm //

    Love these quotes. I especially like the one about love being shown in deeds vs. words.

    • yvonne1wilson // February 15, 2014 at 11:34 am //

      I am glad you enjoyed the quotes Tara. That particular quote I think is a clear cut demonstration of love – like putting what is said into action. Blessings!

    Great reminders about how important it is to give and receive genuine love!

    Happy Valentine’s Day! Stopping by to visit your beautiful blog from #SITSBlogging ! :0)

    • yvonne1wilson // February 15, 2014 at 11:42 am //

      Thank you Vickie! So great to have you. Trust that you had a great Valentine’s Day too. I’ll be stopping by your blog too. Have a blessed day/weekend! 🙂

  12. creativekkids // February 14, 2014 at 6:15 pm //

    I love to think about the greatest love of all on Valentine’s day–but the best thing is is that it is available and the same all year long! I made some printables with verses that talk about God’s love on my blog yesterday! I’m coming by from #SITSBlogging!

    • yvonne1wilson // February 15, 2014 at 12:13 pm //

      Thanks for taking the time to stop by. We are carriers of God’s love and like you quite rightly said, it is the same and available all year long. I am heading over to your blog. God bless you! 🙂

  13. Tara Newman // February 14, 2014 at 6:05 pm //

    I love these quotes especially the one from the Dali Lama. Such good reminders that love isn’t always easy but always right. Happy Valentine’s Day, Stopping by from SITSblogging.

    • yvonne1wilson // February 15, 2014 at 12:09 pm //

      Thank you Tara! 🙂 I agree that love isn’t always easy but it is definitely the right thing to do. The humanness inside of us would try to use reason and logic versus that truth of “loving others in spite of.” Great contribution. I also trust that you had a great Valentine’s Day!

  14. yvonne1wilson // February 14, 2014 at 2:52 pm //

    You are exactly right Val! Thank you for visiting and for sharing your thoughts with us. God bless you! 🙂

  15. Val Frania // February 14, 2014 at 2:44 pm //

    Nice post! You are right on. God’s love is tried and true and we all need to love as God loves. This world would be a better place if we all did!

  16. Tosin AK // February 14, 2014 at 11:39 am //

    Thanks for sharing. What an inspiring post. It’s amazing how easy it is to love, when you actually choose to love. Happy Valentine’s Day

      Happy Valentine’s Day to you too Tosin! I love the way you said this – “It’s amazing how easy it is to love, when you actually choose to love.” Thanks for taking the time out to stop by and to share your thoughts. Great connecting with you! 🙂

  17. OKC Mom of 3 // February 14, 2014 at 11:21 am //

    What a great blog! Inspiring & encouraging. Glad that I have had the opportunity through The SITS Girls to find you. I am sharing with others. Have a great day!

    • yvonne1wilson // February 14, 2014 at 1:04 pm //

      So happy to have you. It is amazing how God moves to connect us to bring about glory and honor unto Himself and to be a source of encouragement, inspiration and hope to each other. Have a wonderful day also.

    So true! Love is the most important thing. Without love nothing else matters. I really like the quotes you posted! Visiting from #Sitsblogging.

    • yvonne1wilson // February 14, 2014 at 12:57 pm //

      Thanks Miranda, a warm welcome. I am so appreciative of you taking the time to demonstrate your love and support. That’s the power of God’s love in action through you. God bless you!

  19. Wilma Jones // February 14, 2014 at 7:42 am //

    Yes, God’s love is the most important. Self love comes second. I think only when you have these two in place can love for others be achieved. Stopping by from the SITS girls comment love. http://www.LivingHappierAfter.com

    • yvonne1wilson // February 14, 2014 at 12:55 pm //

      Oh absolutely Wilma. God’s love must take precedence over self love. It is the order in which true love will be allowed to flow through us here on earth. I am so happy you took the time to stop by. God bless you.
