Love

Love is the greatest power beyond faith, hope, and knowledge. With the power of love everything is made perfect. Love can remove envy, lust, sloth, vanity, anger, gluttony, greed, and criticism. When we appreciate, share, and help, there is no more wanting. When we put others first, there is no more anger or complaint. Hope allows for some prediction and worry. Faith needs trust and assurance. Love stands alone in its ability to conquer and succeed. Patience, kindness, and forgiveness are all products of love. What are the barriers to the love we seek? Our thirst to be God and all powerful and knowing causes us to believe we need and want more than we have. There lies the irony. If love is God, then we already have what we need. God is already within us when we care for all that is in our environment. If we feel we have all the answers to satisfy every ones needs and wants, then we want people to listen to us, act as we command, and even to be worshiped. Isn't it enough to be patient and kind without flaunting our knowledge? Some are meant to follow, and may our leaders be blessed by love.
