Do you have the bond of perfection?
If you have millions or billions of dollars, but you don’t love your neighbor as yourself, you have nothing. And if you give to charities, but you don’t care about who receives or what they get, you have nothing. Or maybe you’ve spent years increasing your knowledge. You can speak multiple languages. And you’re able to address audiences on a variety of topics. But you despise those who aren’t on your intellectual level. In that case you have nothing. Because without love, which is the bond of perfection I’m talking about, you have nothing. No matter how much you have.

Yeah, you gotta put on love. But how do you do it?
Here’s the good news. There’s actually a blueprint for how to put on love. But I’ll warn you right now…you might not appreciate how easy it is. Yeah, you read (or heard) that right.
It’s easy to put on love when you choose to get your self out of the way. Self wants to BE served. And that’s not how you put on love. Putting on love requires your self to serve others. Without seeking a return on your investment. And the irony of that is, you WILL receive a return. In amounts you can’t even imagine.
And here’s why it’s important…
In case you haven’t already noticed, nobody, here on our little blue planet, lives forever. But you might have already sensed something inside you saying your time here on earth isn’t all there is. And that “feeling”is correct.
The heart of you, and I don’t mean that pumping muscle in your chest, has information. And it was put there by the designer. Sort of like a painter’s signature at the bottom of his painting. And that information contains knowledge of eternity. You know there’s more to life than your few short decades on earth. But you might think it’s just a feeling. Because you’ve “learned more truth.”
But the truth is, you were made by the one, true, living, loving God found in the Bible. And if that’s not true, then I’m a big fool. But the evidence, found in every molecule of creation, points to the Creator. And through Him, and because of Him, you’re able to put on love…
The Bond of Perfection
Put on love.
Let it shine.
As I sing I’m gonna lay it on the line.
Peace of God
Let it rule
As you suffer slings and arrows from the fool.
In this world
Filled with hate
As you’re loved you really should reciprocate.
Wear it well.
Keep it true
As in word or deed, whatever you might do.
One release
Can bring peace
There’s only One who’ll change your whole direction.
What He gave
You will save
As you put on love the bond of perfection
Put on love.
Let it show.
“˜Cause you might win hearts that you don’t even know.
And be glad,
As you do,
For the everlasting mercies He gave you.
One release
Can bring peace
There’s only One who’ll change your whole direction.
What He gave
You will save
As you put on love the bond of perfection
