"Looking for love in all the wrong places." When I think of these words, I ponder on the question? What is love? In this world many people search their whole lives in search of love. They set their hearts on earthly treasures, and find a temporal fulfillment in worldly gain. Yet in search of love, there is a longing, a deep desire that is not satisfied within. A longing to be loved and they strive to learn how to love in return. Lord it is my desire to know of Your love and be filled with Your love. An agape love, a love that satisfies my soul, and is fulfilled in Thee. I desire to walk in Thy ways and be filled with Your love.
"Now I will show you the way which surpasses all the others. If I speak with human tongues and angelic as well, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and, with full knowledge, comprehend all mysteries, if I have faith great enough to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give everything I have to feed the poor and hand over my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on airs, it is not snobbish. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to love's forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure.
Love never fails. Prophecies will cease, tongues will be silent, knowledge will pass away. Our knowledge is imperfect and our prophesying is imperfect. When the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child I used to talk like a child, think like a child, reason like a child. When I became a man I put childish ways aside. Now we see indistinctly, as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. My knowledge is imperfect now; then I shall know even as I am known. There are in the end three things that last; faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love. (1Corinthians:13:1-13)
In these verses I find peace and the message clearly states the fruitfulness of Love.

A Word of Encouragement: Search earnestly for God's love, and do not be conformed in His teachings on love. Go to the Father and seek His love through forgiveness. Do not set your hearts on the temporal things of this world. Search your heart and receive God's love in the fullest measure. He stands knocking at the door of your heart. Open, and let Him come in.

Prayer of the Day: "Lord, teach me how to love. I pray that Your Holy Spirit make a home in my heart. May I always bless you with my mouth. Keep me free from sin, so that I may honor Your name. A name that stands above all others. Let Your agape love envelop me and may I stand firm always. I take a hold of Thy fruits, and pray that I may be grounded in Thy love. Truly Thou art my Lord. Amen (So be it)"

Bible Verse of the Day: "There are in the end three things that last; faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love." ( 1Corinthians 13:13)
