The apostle Paul identifies three powerful forces that reside within an individual. These strengths give relationships the wherewithal to last a lifetime. The three: faith, hope, and love, are essential to any relationship including our personal relationship with God. When God's love resides within a person, it provides stability for a lifetime.
The explanation for this is that God's perfect love is not subject to the ups and downs of life that influence, choices, and behavior. Several books address the idea of love being a choice regardless of what’s taking place. Nevertheless, given its mystery and complications, rare is the person who would deny it makes life worth living.
The greatest incentive for loving God is that he first loved us. His love is boundless, without variations, and the greatest display of that love was giving Jesus Christ his Son to die on the cross for us. By accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you become a recipient of the power of God's love.
