“I want to love like You do,” was my heartfelt cry
“You must die to self then,” was the Lord’s reply
“I left the halls of heaven to rescue sons of men
Sin’s penalty to pay, so heavens gates could open”

“Love’s sweet look is so easy when things are going right
What is your heart saying when thoughts go dark at night?
The silence of an angry heart speaks louder than a shout
Confusing words then spoken, fill a mind with doubt”

“The greatest ones in heaven have lived a love that’s seen
Reaching out with hands to care and words to intervene
Will you comfort those ones and ease the questioning soul?
Will you help a troubled heart be healed and then made whole?”

1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13

When we get to heaven, faith will no longer be needed because we will see everything we have believed in, come to pass. Also, we will not need hope in that glorious place because we will have everything we will ever need. What will we need to hope for? But the one thing that will remain throughout eternity is love. We are learning to love like God loves on this earth. It is easy to love when someone loves you back but how else will we learn to love unconditionally like God loves, even when it is not returned? How will we learn to forgive and endure? This is only something we can learn in a sin-filled place. We are learning to love like God loves while we remain on this earth. Don’t miss the chance. It will matter for eternity.
