1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (ESV ) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Greetings to my wonderful WIFI ministry subscribers, family and friends all around the world…. I awake
today with “LOVE” on my mind… When I think about how Jesus gave his only begotten son that we may have
life…. That’s enough right there to let me know that Jesus loves me, oh yes he does…
Well, I’ve come to the conclusion that “I’m in Love with Jesus and he’s in Love with me….” This is the only long term relationship
I’ve ever kept in these 46 years outside of my family… I’m so happy to report that there has never been a
break up between us, and our love just keeps on getting stronger and stronger.. Even the times when I did
not do right, he just kept right on being God throwing his loving arms around me, and for that I say “Thank
you” When we come to realization and realize that ‘Love” is really all we need… Everything else falls in
place… I love some of the finest of things, but I’m convinced that only what you do for Christ will last…
2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) 17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new.
Everyday as I walk around I see all of his great creations and how he made everything so beautiful and so
unique… I amazed everyday that the sun comes up, when the stars and moon comes out at night… I’m
amazed with man in general how we are all different, but yet all the same… Our animals are some unique
and beautiful creations also.. I’m fascinated with all the beautiful flowers, plants and trees… When I look all
around I see nothing but Love letting me know that there is a God that sits high and looks low. Everyday, I
take the time out to just say Thank You Lord for showing me what Love really is…
New Direction– I’m in Love with Jesus

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
