I Wish You Love



Back in the 60’s my mother used to play a Nancy Wilson album over and over and years later I still remember this one particular song, “I Wish You Love.” It was a beautiful yet sad song of sorts. But now that I think about it, it did reflect love. The song is about two people whose love for each other was never meant to be, but in breaking up, one wished only good things and love for the other person.



I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love……

Wow!! I wish you love. That is huge.

Love means many different things to people at this day and age. I think the world has replaced true love with Lust. I love you only as long as you make me feel good. When that stops, it is time to move on. But in God’s Kingdom to desire for someone to know love is huge.

Sisters…..

I wish you……Love that endures long and is patient and kind; love that is never envious nor boils over with jealousy, a love that is not boastful or vainglorious, and does not display itself haughtily.

I wish you….Love that is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); Love that is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly.

I wish you….God's love in us—a Love that does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

I wish you….Love that bears up under anything and everything that comes, and is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

I wish you….God’s Love that never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. I Corinthians 13 4-8a Amplified [my paraphrase]

I pray that each and every one of you will know the great power of God’s love for you and the power of His love in you.

My dear sisters, I wish you love!!



Love & Hugs
Ponnie

See you Monday!
