If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
1Cor 13:3-7

Although we believe in the supernatural, superabundant blessing of God, we know that the value of life is determined by how much love we experience in our relationships. Money cannot replace love.

We are commanded to walk in love and bear the fruit of the spirit (which is love). This is not a choice but an imperative.

If we want rich relationships we will fill them full of love.

It takes work but it is well worth it.
