The Gift for the Person Who Has Everything
In the words of Ephesians 4:32, be kind. My sister Luci paraphrases this verse, “Just be nice."

No one can ignore authentic love. It’s unconditional, unselfish, and the Christian’s mark of distinction.
Complete knowledge doesn’t exist here on earth. I’m going to have to learn to live with unanswered questions and choose instead to act with grace and live in faith that one day I will know the whole story.
Authentic love is unconditional in its expression, unselfish in its motive, and unlimited in the benefits.
Paul's grand treatise on agape in 1 Corinthians 13 describes love in practical terms that will help us express it effectively to our mates.
Optimism, pessimism, suspicion, and fatalism all fail to present life as it really is. In contrast to these four ways we view life God tells us to live with a perspective characterized by reality, joy, trust, and hope.
When we treat others with indifference we are making an announcement to them, declaring, “I don’t love you.” Towards whom are you apathetic?
From 1 Corinthians 13, Pastor Chuck Swindoll explains why the call to love is the preeminent commandment. Rather than a feeling, love is ultimately a decision and an act of devotion to Christ.
I accept you, I believe you’re valuable, I care when you hurt, I desire what’s best for you, and I erase all offences. Chuck Swindoll calls this the A-B-Cs of love.
Love is the greatest thing in the world because it is the ultimate motivation. Scripture reveals this truth in John 3:16.
