God is love and love is from God.  I truly believe that God’s intentions for the heart were to act as a captor for love and then as a messenger of love to the spirit…where it receives nourishment for growth.

I wanted to share the the words to a song written by Buddy Greene (who is flippin’ awesome!)   I think it is an awesome way to define what love should be like between a man and his wife and parents and their children…they should reflect the same qualities as your relationship with God.

It warms my heart to think that I already have a “love that’ll last all day” with God.  I look forward to finding it’s reflection in a love here on earth.

Here is the song I spoke of…

A LOVE THAT’LL LAST ALL DAY
lyrics and music by Buddy Greene

Now I need a love that’ll last all day
So this morning when I bowed my head to pray
I gave myself to the Author of love, the One who said,”Love one another”
And I asked Him to give me His love so I could love my sister and brother
And since I know His will is to love this world
Through every man and woman, every boy and girl
I can rest assured He will answer me when I pray
With a love that’ll last, a love that’ll last all day

Now I’ve got a wife and she needs my love
An encouraging word with a kiss and a little hug
So she can give herself to the Author of love, the One who said, ‘Love one another’
And He is ready to give her His love, so she can be a good wife and mother
Because she knows His will is to love this world
Through every man and woman, every boy and girl
And she can rest assured He will answer her when she prays
With a love that’ll last, a love that’ll last all day

We’ve got a little girl and she needs to see
The love of Jesus in her mother and me
So on the day when she meets the Author of love, the One who said, “Love one another”
She’ll be willing to receive His love and learn to love her sister and brother
And she will find His will is to love this world
Through every man and woman, every boy and girl
And you can rest assured, He will answer her when she prays
With a love that’ll last, a love that’ll last all day
