The Power of Love

Love Lost

Love these days seems harder and harder to find.  I just read a statistic that 25% of 40 year olds have never been married. Back in the early 80's it was 6%.  And 25% of 40 years olds never even tried marriage. Astounding!!! 

Remember, what you put into your body is just as important as what you put into your mind.  And of all the things you desire, having someone to share all your hopes and dreams is the most rewarding.  And despite all the hard work and sacrifice to have children and create a family,  having children will be the best thing you ever do in life. 

So when your feeding your body, go ahead and feed your mind and soul. 

 Here's a classic from St. Paul in a letter to the Corinthians -

 A Letter From Paul To The Corinthians (1 Corinthians 13)

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

 

With Love,
