Love’s Hymn
From Romans 5:3-4: “And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.”
Relationship challenges
Sin attempts to break apart
Holy Spirit never rests
Love’s flame nurtures pair of hearts
Faithful steps follow Jesus
Light sharing grace every day
Together, praying as one
Love fills tomorrow’s gateway
Father extends helping hand
Darkness replaced with sunrise
Endurance sustains journey
Love eclipses gloomy skies
Marriage healing and growing
Faith’s commitment now restored
Mercy’s lasting promises
Love’s hymn, vows renewing chords
From Romans 5:5: “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”

Josh McDowell Quote
How do you spell love? When we reach the point where the happiness, security, and development of another person is as much of a driving force to you as your own happiness, security, and development, then you have mature love. True love is spelled G-I-V-E.
From 1 John 4:7-12: “Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.”
Josh McDowell (born 1939) is an American Christian evangelist and co-author of over 150 books.

Sometimes when we experience life’s contradictions, they teach us more than staying on the sidelines and playing it safe.

Parker Palmer Quote
Wholeness does not mean perfection: it means embracing brokenness as an integral part of life.
From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Parker Palmer (born 1939) is an American author and educator. Much of his writing has focused on issues dealing with leadership, spirituality, and social change.
