BLESSINGS FROM GOD'S LOVE

My Dear Precious Child,
    In Paul's letter first recorded letter to the Corinthians, after he wrote to them about the gifts of My Holy Spirit that are given to enhance the lives of people above all possibilities under Jewish Law, he wrote that there is still a better way to ensure that blessings flow into your lives on earth, that being to always act with My Love toward everyone with which you relate in your life.  He wrote that even if you speak and pray in the language of angels, that being other tongues, if you don't have love your words are only a noisy gong and gangling cymbals, in other words, having no good results.   He listed the amazing gifts and wrote that they all work by love.  He said if you have the gift of prophesy and knowledge, are able to understand spiritual mysteries and have faith to move mountains but don't have love, you are nothing and will inherit nothing from My kingdom of Love.  He went on and wrote that even if you give everything you own to the poor and give your body to be burned, if you don't do it in an attitude of love, you gain nothing from your inheritance which comes from My kingdom of Love.
     Then Paul named the attributes of Love, saying that Love is kind, Love is not jealous, Love is not snobbish nor puts on airs, that Love is never rude, not self-seeking, is not prone to anger, does not brood over emotional injuries.  He described Love as never rejoicing over wrongs that happen to other people but Love always rejoices when truth prevails.   He wrote that there is no end to Love's forbearance, to its trust in Me, to its hope and its power to endure whatever comes along in the life of a person.
     He wrote that Love never fails.  Prophesies cease when they are fulfilled, tongues are eventually silenced and spiritual knowledge eventually passes away when more is revealed.  He realized that human knowledge is imperfect, and that prophesying is imperfect because it comes through human beings.  Paul wrote that when the perfect comes that the imperfect passes away.  He spoke that when he was a child that he spoke like a child, reasoned like a child and thought like a child,  but when he was a man he put childish things aside.  That was relating to his complaints about the Corinthians being unspiritual, still being spiritual babies.  But he wrote that he and his helpers had put childish things away and then they could see things indistinctly, like in a mirror; but when Christ is perfected in them that he knew that he would see Christ face to face.  He admitted that his knowledge was imperfect but then he would know Him just like he is known by Him. 
   In Paul's letter to the Corinthians he wrote that there are only three things that last.  Those being faith, hope and Love and that the greatest of them is Love.  (I Corinthians 13:1-13)
   That litany from Paul about Love mirrors the wisdom of the Holy Spirit when He wrote in his letter to the Galations that faith works by Love. (Galatians 5:6)
    Your Father of Love Whose Power Works Wonders
