Carlos and Nancy Pardeiro, founders of Safe TV, 

shared these inspiring thoughts on LOVE.

When men are bound together, not by force or self-interest,

but by LOVE,

they show the working of an influence that is above 

every human influence.

Where this oneness exists,

it is evidence that the image of God 

is being restored in humanity, 

that a new principle of life has been implanted.

It shows that there is power in the divine nature

to withstand the supernatural agencies of evil, 

and that the grace of God subdues the selfishness

inherent in the natural heart.

When self is merged in Christ, 

love springs forth spontaneously.

The completeness of Christian character

is attained when the impulse to help and bless others

springs constantly from within--

when the sunshine of heaven fills the heart

and is revealed in the countenance.

Connected with Christ,

we are connected with our fellow men

by the golden links of the chain of love.

Then the pity and compassion of Christ will be manifest in our life . . .

It will be as natural for us to minister to the needy

and suffering as it was for Christ to go about doing good.

This love is the evidence of their discipleship . . .
