my true love sent to me:
3 French Hens
2 Turtle Doves
and a Partridge in a Pear Tree
They are 3 things that will remain eternally
The things in this world that exist now, will cease someday
But these 3, will remain in eternity
They are faith, hope and love
Hebrew 11:1 says: faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith energizes you to do something positive when the reality is discouraging. 2 Cor 5:7 says: for we walk by faith not by sight. We can grow our faith by hearing the Word of God. Roman 10:17 says: faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God.
Hope is rather different than faith. Hope is willingness to look at the goodness of God. It is an anchor that keep us steady while waiting on God in the middle of a bad situation. Psalm 147:11 says : The Lord delights in those who fear Him; who put his hope in His unfailing love. Job 18:11 says: You will be secure because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety
Love is the greatest of all three. 1 John 4:16 says that God is love and whoever abides in love, abides in God and God in him.
While he was in the world, Jesus demonstrated the faith, hope and love through his speech and deeds. Faith, hope and love combo = Jesus' life demo=three french hens
Have you unwrapped the third gift from our true love ?
I bet you will like it very much
