The Perfect Motivator For Everything We Do

 Love is patient, love is kind. 

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, 

it is not easily angered, 

it keeps no account of wrongs.

1 Cor.13:4-5

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. 

As I have loved you, so also you must love one another.  

By this all men will know that you are My disciples, 

if you love one another.” 

John 13:34-35

What excellent persuasion

Motivates me and you

When love becomes the reason

For all we say and do

How soft a season scatters

The everyday of lives

Then tucks its tender tatters

Into Bygone’s archives

…and all that really matters

In daily here to there

Is what we did for others

To show we love and care

Then be not long despondent

When weary of its ‘ask’

Love makes each role resplendent

Regardless of its task

…and makes most noble victors

From earth’s lowliest lot

If we live to love others

With everything we’ve got

With all that we can muster

Let's lift love's beacon high

And imitate Love's Author 

The Lord of earth and sky

 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, 

but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Mark 10:45

I often think of/listen to the song below, when someone passes on...

 

...and another beautiful 'love' song!
