I have just finished reading a wonderful series by Bodie & Brock Thoene, called the A.D. Chronicles. If you can get these books - don't hesitate. I guarantee you, you will not only be so blessed but you will learn so much about the 1st coming of Jesus Christ and the prophecies He fulfilled. Not to mention, that you will weep your way through these books, in gratitude for His love and faithfulness and life. Here is an excerpt from book 8, called "Eighth Shepherd."
"Yeshua (Jesus) teaches this: Love is kind. And patient. It doesn't envy and steal and claim the talents and possessions of another man. Love keeps it's promises even when it hurts. Love does not boast or crow when it is victorious in battle. Love heals the wounded rather than destroys the weak. Love is not motivated by injured pride to destroy the life and work of another. Love builds up. It does not tear down. Love isn't rude or thoughtless in actions or words. Love is not ambitious or self-seeking or addicted to flattery. It does not lie and claim it is somehow serving God. It keeps no record of wrongs or plots ways to take vengeance. Love is not easily angered, yet neither is it silent when confronting evil. It does not accept or delight in the actions of an evil man that hurt the innocent. Love does not defend a lie or accept the persecution of the innocent for the sake of remaining in control. Love rejoices in the truth. It always protects. Always trusts. Always encourages. Always hopes. Always perseveres. Yeshua teaches us that love never fails. God's love heals all wounds."
