Falling in Love

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.

A wife of noble character, who can find? She is far more precious than rubies.

Set me as a seal over your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol. Its sparks are fiery flames, the fiercest blaze of all.

Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.

But I have this against you: You have abandoned your first love.

Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

…you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
