Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday January 19th.

Today we finish our series on living the extraordinary life

and we look at the words of Jesus for a better grasp of a life of love.

Of all the emotions you have ever experienced,

which is the most important one of all?

Well, somebody would say fear because it protects me. No. Well, joy and happiness because that's sort of what everybody's longing for.

All those may be well but the most important

emotion you have ever experienced in life is the emotion of love. It is the

supreme emotion that God is placed within us.

He created us to love him and to be loved by him.

He created us to love on another.

It is the emotion above all of emotions. He created us to love on another.

It is the emotion above all of emotions.

And think about this.

It's the only thing you're going to take to heaven with you.

Because you see, if your good works have already gone before

and you leave all your sins and your weaknesses and your frailt is back behind,

and you leave faith and the promises of God, I mean that's all going to be complete,

the only thing you and I going to take to heaven with us is love.

And the question is, do you love God? Do you feel God's love in your heart? Can you say that you genuinely love anybody?

Or would you have to say, you know, I've had some feelings, but true genuine love, I'm not sure.

And the title of this message is a life of love.
