The following are from other sources
Poem: Calvary Love; states that, if you believe in this (worldly thing) then you don't know the first thing about Calvary Love. the poem is quite long
12. God so Loved the World: that He gave His only begotten Son. John 3:16 Christ loved the world enough, to become Jesus and die on a roman cross. The Holy Spirit loves us enough, to give us new life
13. Sacrifice: Loving someone enough to want to sacrifice; to give up something, for the good of something else; giving up personal wants and desires, to help someone else (especialy for your spouse in marriage); it is not only admirable but Godly. What did Christ sacrifice for us?
14. God's Resurrection love Guideposts June 1984 Love Revived
"Human love is a living thing, always changing, it changes as we change, and sometimes we change it ourselves." We put conditions on it, such as "I'll love you, if you love me," or "I'll love you, if you if you come up to my expectations," "---".
But there is a love that does not change, God's Resurrection Love; when our human love dies, God can replace it with Divine Love.
Ask God to help you see --- the way He sees --- and help me love --- the way You Love ---. Pray this every day, untill you see the first results; then thank Him every day. When you start prayingthis prayer, be willing to put your feelings aside and watch God work His wonders, as He resurrects your love, by adding His Divine Love. He might change --- a little, and change you a lot. --- name
