Section 2: Love

• John 15:12 AMP This is My commandment: that you love one another [just] as I have loved you.
• 1 John 4:11 AMP Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another.
• 1 Corinthians 16:14 AMP Let everything you do be done in love (true love to God and man as inspired by God’s love for us).
• 1 John 4:20 AMP If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen.
• Proverbs 17:17 AMP A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity.
• Jude 1:2 AMP May mercy, [soul] peace, and love be multiplied to you.
• 1 Corinthians 13:1 AMP IF I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).3 Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory , but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing.4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].9 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).10 But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded).11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.12 For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God].13 And so faith, hope, love abide [faith–conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope–joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love–true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Without unconditional love flowing through us there is no way that we will be able to reach our destiny.

When we feel like we have nothing left to give; love will give you something that they need.

No matter what the case. No matter how bad it seems, we can depend on love. You have permission to love, to love again and again and again. Never stop loving.

The best way to get out of a bad situation is to love your way out of it.

We have to learn to accept and love ourselves. Then we are truly able to love others.

Allow love to dictate your destiny to you. It will carry you to places and introduce you to people you never thought you would go or meet. It will keep you safe when you are in danger. It will give you the answers to questions that you never thought you would get answered.

Love, when pure and honest, will never lead you wrong. Love is the one constant that will not fail you when dealing with your destiny.

When you show mercy and love; you will surely receive mercy and love.

When you allow your destiny love to lead you and guide you; you will experience life like you never thought possible.

It will maintain you while you are on the walk. It will protect you while you are on the walk. It will nourish you while you are on the walk. It will keep you from giving up while you are on the walk.

People have been beat up and misused so badly that they are skeptical of love. Some people are to the point that they don’t believe that anyone can possibly love them. However, if you are operating in destiny love then you can help them to see just how lovable they truly are.

Having an attitude of love everyday can be difficult, but after you develop the lifestyle it becomes who you are.

If you are going to reach your destiny, it is a must to give others love and at the same time learn how to receive love from others. People will remember you for the love that you showed to others long after you have gone away.

There can no substantial joy or happiness in your life if there is no destiny love.

Remember to love is a choice; it is your choice. No one can force you to love anyone, not even to love yourself. Just as walking in your destiny is your choice; so is to walk in the destiny love that is required of you to accomplish your mission in life; your destiny.
