..."but the greatest of these is LOVE..." 1Cor.13:13

It best said by the apostle Paul to have the best gift of all is the gift of love.Yet the example of the greatest of love is, Jesus our savior who died on the cross for my sins and yours. So if what we do is done without love it is meaningless.Love is the key.If we miss that,everything else we do is a waste of time and effort.In the book of John he says,"He who does not love does not know God, for God is love"(1 John 4:8)And so it is that by knowing God, and Jesus as our everything and experiencing His love it is then, God who compels our hearts and moves us with love.When Jesus is talking to his disciples about the world knowing them by their love, is so true! We for the last two years while being in Costa Rica have been touched & moved by each one of you who support the mission here in Costa Rica. Testifying to the many people praying, and sending us emails of encouragements and in difficult times trusting in God as they give to His work here.
As we went on a furlough back to California to visit,family,friends,and our home church for one month.It was as if we had never left.Many smiling faces and hugs that greeted us!Jesus showered upon us his love, in tangible ways, in action!We can not thank you enough for being Jesus hands and feet, and mouthpiece of His love!!!
As we entered the church on sunday morning, the greeter at the door grabbed Victor by the cheeks, with such gentleness and love he put his two hands on Victor's face and looked straight at him in the eyes and said," You do not know me, but for two years we have been praying for you and your wife" Victor, my mom & I walked away and we began to cry, we were so touched by God's love. We do not have to know one another personally, just know the one who has all the love... God! Let us desire the greatest of all God's love.
