The word “love” and what it really means has been on my mind lately. Is it really the best option to help someone through a hard time? Is is really enough to simply “love them”? Wouldn’t “problem solve”, make a meal, offer resources be more beneficial?

Can LOVE really make a difference in a persons life when their world is falling apart???

This verse JUMPS out at me this morning to answer my questions and to demolish my doubts!

“Love” is as strong as death-if you have ever lost someone you love to death YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!

“LOVE” is as unyielding as the grave-you can’t stop loving someone just because you want to can you? Even though it hurts…

“LOVE” burns like a blazing fire-think of the power in a roaring fire;the HEAT that comes off it;the movement of a fire if not contained.

“LOVE” cannot be quenched by many waters-it will not be put out easily because of how intensely it blazes!

“LOVE” will not be washed away by rivers-it won’t disappear in a current of struggle or storm.

LOVE WILL REMAIN!

Ephesians 3:19 says that we CAN know THIS “love” and BE FILLED TO ALL MEASURE with it because it comes from God (for GOD IS LOVE: 1 John 4:7).

Do I think love can truly cover a multitude of sins?

Is it possible for love to heal a rift in a family?

Is it enough to give someone when nothing else tangible would make a difference because I cannot possibly change their circumstances??

The answer must be YES
