PRAYER and FASTING
3pm - 6pm
Session Four - LOVE
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
REFLECTION
God is love. That is why love is the greatest of these virtues. Whilst we write songs and plays about love and have made love overtly emotional, God’s love is intensively practical. Love we are told is patient and kind and keeps no records of wrong. It is not self seeking and never gives up. Whilst love in our culture can sometimes be presented as something you can lose God’s love stands the test of time.
QUOTES
Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not – C.S.Lewis
God loves us too much to indulge our every whim – Max Lucado
God and love are synonymous. Love is not an attribute of God, it is God; Whatever God is, love is – Oswald Chambers
PRAYER
Our world needs the love of God so desperately. We need it in the church and in our homes and in the wider community. In this session we want to pray for God’s love to permeate everything that we do and just as love is not an attribute but the very essence of who God is we want to pray for love in our homes, communities, government, nation and in all the relationships that shapes our lives. Pray for an explosion of God’s love that reveals God and opens people’s eyes and hearts to see God’s love for them.
