Some things are made to last

By

three remain
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 cafewfwbuttoncopy

    Beautiful! It is so simple and yet we tend to make such mountains out of things. Have faith, trust Him, and love the world …

    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.

    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?

    Wanda,
    Thank you so much for your comments. My hubby did my design. You can see a little about him via the Web Development tab up top-right. He did Amydeanne's new design as well.

    Thanks,
    Ginger
