1. Song of Solomon 2:10-13, 8:6-7 – “My lover said to me, ‘Rise up, my beloved, my fair one, and come away. For the winter is past, and the rain is over and gone. The flowers are springing up, and the time of singing birds has come, even the cooing of turtledoves. The fig trees are budding, and the grapevines are in blossom.

2. How delicious they smell! Yes, spring is here! Arise, my beloved, my fair one, and come away.’”… (8:6-7) Place me like a seal over your heart, or like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, and its jealousy is as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame.

3. Many waters cannot quench love; neither can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with everything he owned, his offer would be utterly despised.

5. 1 Corinthians 13:1-4 - If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything,

6. but didn’t love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others,

7. I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud…

9. Mark 12:28-31- One of the teachers of religious law was standing there listening to the discussion. He realized that Jesus had answered well, so he asked, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important”

10. Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

12. How Can we get God’s Love from our head to our heart?

13. 1. Saturate your mind with the truth of God’s love for us.

14. Romans 8:38-39 - And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can't keep God's love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean,

15. nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

17. 1. Saturate your mind with the truth of God’s love for us. 2. Ask God to help you to grasp and understand His love.

18. Ephesians 3:14-19 - When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him.

19. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

21. 1. Saturate your mind with the truth of God’s love for us. 2. Ask God to help you to grasp and understand His love. 3. Refuse to seek love in cheap substitutes

22. 1 John 2:15-16 - Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love the world, you show that you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions. These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world.

24. 1. Saturate your mind with the truth of God’s love for us. 2. Ask God to help you to grasp and understand His love. 3. Refuse to seek love in cheap substitutes 4. We need to learn to love others because of what God has done for us.

25. John 13:34-35 – “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
