The Driving Force of Love...

Vain, ah vain is love's façadeWe try to maintain, without GodFutile, futile, its driving forceUntil we recognize love's Source It is impossible to deny God yet claim to love... 1 John 4:7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The 'brutal honesty' of the book  ' by leaves no stone unturned in life's journey,(after we have confessed the name of Jesus)often challenging the reader with realizations of what we may try to gloss over or ignore!!! These below are no exception! The driving force of love challenges you and IBecause its evidence will prove love cannot tell a lieThough noise of bluff and boast can put on quite a showWho we love and honour the most is bound to overflowInto life’s daily grind of want and sacrificeThe driving force of love will find a way to pay the price….for love comes with a cost that love alone pursuesLove is no thoughtless penny tossed with nothing much to loseOh no, love always takes to give; this is the partThat will reveal, by how we live, whose love reigns in the heart © Janet Martin 1 John 2:15-17Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. 2 Tim.3:1-5But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
