Because I Love You


Because I Love You

Is because I have the love of Christ in me.

God’s love overflows in my heart into yours.

What is the love

that has been passed down?

The Word of God tells me

For God is love

And that’s why I love you.

Love is patient.

Love is kind.

Love does not envy.

Love does not boast.

Love is not proud.

Love does not dishonor others.

Love is not self-seeking.

Love is not easily angered.

Love keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth.

Love protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

Because I Love You

Is because I have the love of Christ in me.
