I Love You: These three words hold enormous power in them.
Love can change hearts, love can say “I’m sorry”, love can
say “I forgive you”. Do any of us say “I love you” enough?
In our public prayers do we hear it said to God and to His son? Do we tell our
spouses, our parents, our children, or even our brethren those three beautiful
words? In hard times we can easily say “keep the faith” or “hold
on to our hope”, but what about “I love you”?
Keep in mind what the apostles Paul told us in the love chapter 1 Corinthians
13:13, “and now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest
of these is charity”. Being able to say “I love you” can save
friendships, marriages, and keep a soul out of hell fire!
There are probably many words and phrases a Christian does not use enough such
as “can I help you?”, “thank you”, “do you need
anything?”, but the eight words we just spoke of, I suggest, are very
important in our salvation and pleasing the Lord. Take a moment, we can all
probably think of someone we can say “I’m sorry”, “I
forgive you”, and “I love you” to. Remember, these eight words
can save a friendship, marriage, or most importantly, keep a soul out of hell
fire!
