"Quiet time Words" by Carla-Rae "The Power of Love"

"LOVE"... bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things... LOVE never fails.
1 Corinthians 13

When I think of the power that accompanies that one word, "LOVE", my natural mind cannot wrap itself around all the possibilities. However, when I let my spirit soar, there are no limits to what unleashed "LOVE" can accomplish. "LOVE", the kind that does what the verse indicates, accomplishes infinitely more than we can ask or think.

"LOVE" ... Bears ALL things...Think of that. Every good, bad, evil, or indifferent thing that happens to us or those we care about... LOVE will bear it. That is POWER.
"LOVE" ... Believes ALL things... No matter what people say about you, think about you, do to you, LOVE looks beyond and thinks the best, it believes in us. Again, POWER.
"LOVE" ... Hopes ALL things... No matter what comes our way...LOVE hopes for the best in ALL things. POWER to overcome.
"LOVE"... Endures ALL things... Life brings every kind of situation at us... In those situations we can prevail and take the high road by allowing LOVE to be our master of endurance.
"LOVE"... NEVER FAILS... That statement in and of itself is so liberating and freeing... When we, as individuals, allow LOVE to be our answer to every situation in our lives, we become overcomers, winners, free, and peaceful. Furthermore, those who encounter us get the LOVE that is flooding through us splashed all over them, which in turn permits them to lavish LOVE into the lives of those they encounter and so the circle goes round. POWER to affect others for good.

Please don't misunderstand me, I, personally,  know I have not "arrived" and have not fully grasped the infinite ramifications of this all empowering concept. However, though I may sound idealistic in thought, the truth of the matter is, most all of the problems we face today, in our own lives and in world issues, would be dealt with peaceably and honorably if we would each begin to operate in the power of this "LOVE" force, in at least one area of our lives. If we think we are powerless to do so, we need simply to ask our God, WHO is the source of all LOVE and HE will give us the strength to operate in His "LOVE".

Peace
