Love is…
Introduction: The Love of the Mother
MOTHER’S LOVE
A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on.
After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind.
She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge
For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years:
No Charge
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No Charge.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love you.”
And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.
My Mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.
All I am I owe to my Mother.
I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.—George Washington
“I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me.
They have clung to me all my life.”
—Abraham Lincoln
We see a mother's love making the difference in lives throughout the Bible...being the one to stand for and believe in those characters that we admire so much.
A mother's love is a beautiful picture of the love of God.....
He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
If a mother’s love can change lives how much more can the love of God change lives.
This morning we want you to understand that love only comes from God.
I John tells us that God is love.
Any expression of love comes from God. Love changes lives.
Understanding how much God the Father....God the son.......and God the Holy Spirit love is so important.
Just as a mother's love changes a child.
So the love of God poured into our hearts changes us.
It is that love that God so freely pours out that we need to understand and saturate our thinking until we become...... filled to overflowing with that love.

— The Love of the Father
Did you know that God loves you?
I mean He really loves you?
Really?
He even likes you and enjoys hanging out with you!
says that — God so loved the world — so loved- really
that He did not die for us!
but that He gave His only begotten Son,
for you and me!
that if we will choose to believe in Him
we would not perish - hell
but have everlasting life!
17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
God's love is not static or self-centered; it reaches out and draws others in.
Here God sets the pattern of true love, the basis for all love relationships—when you love someone dearly, you are willing to give freely to the point of sacrifice.
God paid dearly with the life of His Son, the highest price He could pay.
Stop and pray for a revelation of His great love
The Parable of the Lost Son. -
— The Parable of the Expectant Father
11 Then he said, “There was once a man who had two sons.
12 The younger said to his father, ‘Father, I want right now what's coming to me.'
“So the father divided the property between them.
13 It wasn't long before the younger son packed his bags and left for a distant country.
There, undisciplined and dissipated, he wasted everything he had.
14 After he had gone through all his money, there was a bad famine all through that country and he began to hurt.
15 He signed on with a citizen there who assigned him to his fields to slop the pigs.
16 He was so hungry he would have eaten the corncobs in the pig slop, but no one would give him any.
17 “That brought him to his senses.
He said, ‘All those farmhands working for my father sit down to three meals a day, and here I am starving to death.
18 I'm going back to my father.
I'll say to him, Father, I've sinned against God, I've sinned before you; 19 I don't deserve to be called your son.
Take me on as a hired hand.'
20 He got right up and went home to his father.
“When he was still a long way off, his father saw him.
His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him.
21 The son started his speech: ‘Father, I've sinned against God, I've sinned before you; I don't deserve to be called your son ever again.’
Imagine yourself as that boy …
22 “But the father wasn't listening.
He was calling to the servants, ‘Quick.
Bring a clean set of clothes and dress him.
Put the family ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
23 Then get a grain-fed heifer and roast it.
We're going to feast!
We're going to have a wonderful time!
24 My son is here—given up for dead and now alive!
Given up for lost and now found!'
And they began to have a wonderful time.
25 “All this time his older son was out in the field.
When the day's work was done he came in.
As he approached the house, he heard the music and dancing.
26 Calling over one of the houseboys, he asked what was going on.
27 He told him, ‘Your brother came home.
