‘LOVE’

God is Love
Love is my lifeblood
I am born for Love
Without Love I am nothing
Love is the heart of the Gospel of Jesus
Without Love there is no Gospel
Hearing Jesus I hear the words of Love
Seeing Jesus I see Love in human form

He Loves me without limit
He Loves without condition
He Loves me without condition
He Loves the loveless
He Loves the unlovable

Where He is Love is
Where Love is He is
Living and dying, He proclaims Love
If I Love, I am close to Jesus
If I am close to Jesus, I Love
When I receive Jesus I receive Love
Embracing Him I am Loved
Talking with him I am Loved
Sharing with Him I am Loved
Walking with Him I am Loved

Dying with Him I am Loved
Love is the sign of His presence
I am called to show His Love to reveal Him in my life
The power to Love is a gift of His Spirit
Jesus enables me to Love Him
He enables me to Love myself
He empowers me to Love others
He empowers me to speak, show, and give Love

His Love, penetrates my soul, heals my wounds
His Love brings peace to my turbulence
His Love brings serenity to my anxiety
His Love brings forgiveness to my guilt
His Love, overcomes and can never be defeated, it remains forever changeless

The sign of His Love, is His Cross, here I see the full measure of Jesus’ Love
His Outstretched Arms reach out to me, and in this darkest hour He His emptied of all but Love, despised, forsaken, He goes on Loving
His Love brings light to dispel my darkness
His Love sets me free
His Love draws us close together, close to Him

Love is about closeness, sharing, intimacy
Love is about vulnerability
Love is costly, it is patient and kind, it neither envies nor boasts, it is not proud, rude or self- seeking
It is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrong, it protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres

If I Love the hungry I will feed them
If I Love the sick I will help them
If I Love the bereaved I will comfort them
If I Love the persecuted I will speak out for them
If I Love those who are cast down, I will raise them
If I Love my enemies I will forgive them
If I Love Jesus, I will follow Him here and now

Love opens my eyes to grace and beauty
Love opens my ears to the music of heaven
Love opens my heart to the touch of God
Love opens my mind to the truth of God
Love helps me be simple
Love leads me to be poor
Love always heals
Love prompts me to give rather than receive
Love causes me to reach out to others
Love causes me to share the joy of others
Love causes me to feel the pain of others
Love is a sign of strength not weakness
Love enables me to discover my humanity

Deprived of Love I am robbed of my humanity
To Love is to live
To hate is to die
Love is the breath of life
Without Love we are cold, unyielding
Without Love we are divided and apart
Love brings oneness
Love breaks down barriers
Love ends conflict
Love fashions my desires
Love moulds my hopes and aspirations

Unforgiveness denies Love
Hatred and violence denies Love
When I deny love I reject life
Inflicting hurt denies Love
Tolerating injustice denies Love

Love prompts me to speak out when I want to be silent
Love silences me when I want to speak out
Love prompts me to do things against my desires
Love restrains me from doing things I want to do
Love teaches me to hate the sin but to Love the sinner
Love leads me to rejoice in goodness
Love enables me to escape from self
Love enables me to know peace
Love enables me to be at peace

The world is starved of Love, we are hungry for it, children cry out for it
Jesus is the Bread for which we yearn, the Love that brings us nourishment and health
Love makes me little
Love leads me to love little things
Love brings me delight in little children
Love shows me the Glory of God’s Creation
Love enables me to see His Reflection everywhere
Love is a currency for me to dispense

My desire, my will, my ability to receive and give Love, are from the Spirit.
I am born for Love, and I live when I know beyond all doubt that God is Love.
