God of Hope

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13).

Your love delights me, my treasure, my bride. Your love is better than wine, your perfume more fragrant than spices (Song of Songs 4:10).

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24).

But I tell you, love your enemies. Pray for those who treat you badly (Matthew 5:44).

 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance (1 Corinthians 13:7).

And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart,  all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength (Mark 12:30).

. . . we must not only talk about loving people; we must show we love people by what we do for them. We must really love them. (1 John 3:18)

Your love. . . has brought me great joy and much encouragement! You have cheered the hearts of all of God’s people (Philemon 1:7).

Love never fails. . . . And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:8,13).

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart (1 Peter 1:22).

[Love] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:7).

Don’t ever forget [love] and truth. Wear them like a necklace. write them on your heart as if on a tablet (Proverbs 3:3).
