We are less harsh, less critical, less cynical.<\/p>\n<p>And then the world starts to rub off on us. Sometimes it&#8217;s due to things that happen to us. Other times it&#8217;s just from being in the world, rubbing shoulders with everyone on a daily basis. Either way, it&#8217;s always good when our memory is refreshed and we hear God&#8217;s voice.<\/p>\n<p>So today&#8217;s memory refresher is about love.<\/p>\n<p>Love has been badly abused. It has become misunderstood. It has even been abandoned by some, because they mistook infatuation or lust for love.<\/p>\n<p>Real love has the qualities in the verses above. Love is not perfect, unless it comes from the One who <i>is<\/i> love. But as human beings and followers of Christ, it&#8217;s our obligation to learn what God says love is and then walk it out.<\/p>\n<p>1 John 4:8 (NKJV) 8 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">He who does not love does not know God, for God is love<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
