Christ is Love

This weekend was so awesome. Jeff and I connected and it was a wonderful time to grow. I really believe that without Christ, Jeff and I would probably not be married. Only Christ strengthened our marriage and caused us to grow. So, these scriptures are about love, marriage and family. Christ is in us, therefore, we love because of Christ.

Genesis 29:20
"And Jacob served seven years for Rachel: and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her."

Esther 2:17
"And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vasthi."

Proverb 31:11
"The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil."

Proverbs 31:28
"Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her,"

Ephesians 5:28
"So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."

Ephesians 5:33
"Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husbands."

Hagar's love for her child
Genesis 21:6
"And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept."

The mother of Moses
Exodus 2:3
"And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein: and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink."

2 Samuel 21:9
"And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the Lord: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest."

Matthew 15:22
"And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil."

John 19:25
"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."

Love starts at home, and through Christ. He is the one who first loved us.
