Love One Another As I have Loved You

LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU
by HELEN STEINER RICE



"LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"
MAY SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO DO-
BUT IF YOU WILL TRY TO TRUST AND BELIEVE
GREAT ARE THE JOYS THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE...
FOR LOVE MAKES US PATIENT, UNDERSTANDING AND KIND,
AND WE JUDGE WITH OUR HEARTS AND NOT WITH OUR MIND...
FOR AS SOON AS LOVE ENTERS THE HEART'S OPEN
DOOR, THE FAULTS WE ONCE SAW ARE NOT
THERE ANYMORE,
AND THE THINGS THAT SEEMED WRONG BEGIN TO LOOK RIGHT
WHEN VIEWED IN THE SOFTNESS OF LOVE'S GENTLE LIGHT...
FOR LOVE WORKS IN WAYS THAT ARE WONDROUS AND STRANGE,
AND THERE IS NOTHING IN LIFE THAT LOVE CANNOT CHANGE,
AND ALL THAT GOD PROMISED WILL SOME DAY COME TRUE
WHEN YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER THE WAY HE LOVES YOU.









PRAISE THE LORD,
GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD;
HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER.



PSALM 106:1
NIV



BUT THE MERCY OF THE LORD IS
FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING
UPON THEM THAT FEAR HIM, AND HIS
RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO
CHILDREN'S CHILDREN;



PSALM 103:17

FOR WHO IS GOD SAVE THE LORD?
OR WHO IS A ROCK SAVE OUR GOD?



PSALM 18:31
KJV



I WILL GO IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD GOD;
I WILL MAKE MENTION OF YOUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS, OF YOURS ONLY.
O GOD, YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME FROM MY YOUTH;
AND TO THIS DAY I DECLARE YOUR WONDROUS WORKS.



PSALM 71:16-17

I FIND REST IN GOD; ONLY HE CAN SAVE ME.
HE IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION.
HE IS MY DEFENDER; I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED.



PSALM 62:1-2
NCV



FOR THE LORD IS GOOD;
HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER,
AND HIS FAITHFULNESS TO ALL GENERATIONS.
