The Different Shades of Love 3

<p>Wednesday 17th February 2021</p> <p><br></p> <p>A lovely day to you in the name of Jesus. We thank God for this lovely Wednesday and we pray that it will be a winning Wednesday for you in the name of Jesus.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>We are still talking about The Different Shades of love and by that we mean the different manifestations or expressions of love.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>There are different roles we play and in each we relate with people that we need to show love but we cannot love everybody the same way.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>It is frustration and you're setting yourself up for trouble when you think you can love everybody the same way.

Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God.”</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>I pray you will be able to know that love, then you can be filled with the fullness of God. Christ love is expansive; it’s bigger than the whole “I love you” we say and the Greeks have different expressions of this word called love.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>And reading the Bible, we will find out that there are different languages communicating the different kinds of love.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>The first one we see in the Bible today is the word “Eros” and it simply means romantic, pass
