And the Winner Is...Love!

How Deep The Father's Love For Us-Selah 


  

A Few more Love-Hymns...




It would kill joy; All the anger, 
Criticism, blame’s push-shove 
Prejudiced assumptions, 
Judgments, Finger- 
pointing 
But for 
Love 


It would kill cheer; hostile slander, 
Slights of love misunderstood 
It would get the best 
Of wonder but for 
this; God 
is still 
good 


It would kill peace; pride’s cold 
shoulder, Spite’s insensitivity. 
but for this; these are no 
match for God’s love 
poured through 
You and 
me

“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? 
Even sinners love those who love them. 
33And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? 
Even sinners do that. 34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, 
what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
 35But love your enemies, do good to them, 
and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. 
Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, 
because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
