The greatest gift that you can give to anyone is love.

But, not just any kind of love. Only the perfect love.

Perfect love is God and without Him, you cannot attain this type of love.

God established an example of perfect love when He sent His Son to die for all of our sins.

The Son of God was born in humble circumstances, and He devoted His entire life serving others.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17KJV)

The characteristics of perfect love

Perfect love never fails.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. (1 Corinthians 13:8-10NKJV)

Perfect love endures all things.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; (1 Corinthians 13:4-5NKJV)

Perfect love is unconditional

Love does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13: 6-7NKJV)

Perfect love is profitable.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love  it profits me nothing (1 Corinthians 13:3NKJV)

Perfect love is the language of God.

It is estimated that approximately 7,000 languages are spoken in the world and less than 100,000 people can speak 90% of these languages.

It is impossible for one person to speak every language.

But, God understands all the languages of man because He speaks the language of love.

I pray that we will all speak the perfect language of love.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal (1 Corinthians 13:1).

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
