You're right, Mr. Bell. Love DOES win. Here's the thing, though; if we don't repent (you know, the "Go and sin NO MORE" part), then we are showing no love toward Jesus the Christ. Jesus is the One who repeatedly said those words. "Go and sin no more."
He also said, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." That wasn't an ultimatum. He WASN'T standing there with one hand on His hip, and theother arm extended with an accusing finger pointed toward us. What He WAS saying was a matter of fact. Something like, "If you inhale, you'll exhale." In other words, if we TRULY love Him, our nature will be to love the LORD our God with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul, and all our strength, and to love our neighbor (everyone) as we love ourselves and, YES, that was also a commandment to love one's self. We cannot love anyone, not even our Creator, if we despise ourselves.
SO - REPENT ("Go and SIN NO MORE"), and "Love the LORD your God with ALL your heart, all YOUR MIND, ALL your soul, and ALL your strength." Love every human just as He loves us. Love yourself as He loves you. Love yourself. You are created in His image and likeness.
Love, love, love. Love wins - when we, in turn, truly love Him.
Prayers, proclamations, thoughts, hopes, dreams, successes, failures, fears, aches, pains, rants, pants, songs, poems, praises, growth, faith, videos, and links....hopefully the transparent me with a deeply honest heart...becoming the me that JESUS has designed for HIS Kingdom.

HeartOfAmerica-ChuckGirard
May 1 - the National Day of Prayer in the U.S.A.
This song by Chuck Girard (The Castells, The Hondells, The Ghouls, Mr. Gasser & the Weird-Ohs, The Revells, Love Song, and solo artist) - "Heart of America" is a great prayer for our nation. I know that it's my prayer today for all of us.

At the Cross [Live]
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—
And bathed in its own blood—
While the firm mark of wrath divine,
His soul in anguish stood.
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.
And did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Refrain:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—
And bathed in its own blood—
While the firm mark of wrath divine,
His soul in anguish stood.
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.
