Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13 NLT
But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. I Corinthians 13:13(The Message)
Lord, help me to build my life on these eternal things. In Jesus name. Amen
Denise says

Lovely Wanda….we have been looking at hope over past weeks and you cannot help but link it with faith…..but love is the greatest.
Karen says
Do you remember how Evangelist Billy Graham would say, "God's love is Forev-uh and Forev-uh!" Isn't it good to know that God's love will never end?
