Inspiration from The Word

Song of Solomon 8:7
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.
(NIV) 

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
(NIV) 

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (NIV) 

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
(NIV) 

Ephesians 5:33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
(NIV) 

Colossians 3:14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
(NIV) 

1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
(NIV) 

1 John 3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
(NIV) 

1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
(NIV) 

1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
(NIV) 

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
(NIV)
