Deuteronomy 6:5(Message Bible), ...Love GOD, your GOD, with your whole heart: love Him with all thats in you, love Him with all youve got!
John 14:15-16(NKJV), Jesus said, "...If you love Me, keep My commandments."
Matthew 5:43-47(NLT), Jesus declared, ...You have heard the law that says, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your FATHER in Heaven. For He gives His sunlight to both the evil and the good, and He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.
Matthew 22:37-39(KJV), Jesus declared, ...You must love The LORD your GOD with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13(NLT), Apostle Paul declared, If I could speak all the languages of Earth and of angels, but didnt love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of GODS secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didnt love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didnt love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as GOD now knows me completely. Three things will last forever faith, hope, and love and the greatest of these is love."
Serving the LORD will be worth it all. Someday, Jesus will return for us. But while we wait for Jesus to come for us (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18), return back to Earth with us (Revelation 19:4-21), rule and reign over the entire Universe from Israel with us (Isaiah 9:7/Revelation 11:15/Revelation 20:1-6), wisdom is to be Holy Spirit led (Romans 8:14), according to His purpose (Romans 8:28), His will (Matthew 6:10), and His Divine protection (Psalm 23, 27, 91), 24/7-365."
1 Corinthians 15:58, "...Brothers and Sisters in Christ, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of The LORD, knowing that your labor is not in vain in The LORD."
Philippians 1:6(NLT), "...And I am certain that GOD, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns."
Conduit of LORD Jesus,
Rosa Appling-Banks, Acts 26:18
