Cleve Foster

“Over the years I have learned to love.”

 

When Cleve Foster was about to die, he wanted everyone to know that he had learned to love. Sometimes love takes some growing into. We live in a cruel world and love seems to be a precious and endangered commodity. Often, people just learn to live and survive by being just as heartless as everyone else. Cleve wanted to live differently and worked hard to learn to love. The God who is love wants us all to learn to love. How are your love studies coming along?

With great expectation for what God can and will do in your life, I invite you to pray the last words of Cleve Foster:

“Over the years I have learned to love.”

Amen.
