Faith and Hope and Love

Just thought that maybe I should explain more about the name (faithandhopeandlove). My goal for this website is to help other women. There are three major things that concern women today: faith, hope and love. Faith in God and having a relationship with Him. Hope in the future for your own well-being physically, mentally and emotionally. And Love for others and how to develop healthy relationships. 1 Corinthians 13:13 says, "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." There are three things in this world in which no one can take away from you. These are things in which we are soley responsible for ourselves and how we develop these things in or lives will determine our quality of life. These are the only things that are eternal and we will take with us in heaven. So we should spend the majority of our time pursuing faith, hope and love. In other words, these are our priorities and how we should have them. Our faith, or relationship with God is the most important aspect of our lives. Without this first priority in perspective, the other two will be messed up. So whenever you are faced with problems dealing with hope or love, before you do anything, you must first make sure that your relationship with God is pleasing to Him. I suspect that when this is all it was meant to be, that the problems of life will either go away or seem less important. That is why this website will be concentrating on these three things so much. When you are in the midst of a tough situation, the only things that will ease your struggle is clinging to faith in God, hope for the future, and the love from others. "But the greatest of these is love." All love comes from God because God is love. His love is perfect and unconditional. It is agape love. It is from this that we are given the ability to love others. If you don't know His perfect love today, let me encourage you to seek Him. "There is no greater love than this, that He lay down His life for a friend." God came down to earth in the form of a man, as His son Jesus Christ and gave up His life for you, dear reader. If you were the only person on earth, He still would have sacrificied everything for your soul. I hope that as you continue your day, you will feel that love in your soul.
