Love is...

Hello. This post isn't something to be taken lightly-this is serious. When I talk about love, don't just envision a couple holding hands. Love is more than that. And this post is all about that. Today during church, I looked up in my Bible all of these verses to post here. So I hope by the end of this post, that you know what true love is.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.  

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things 

"Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfects comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

"For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Proverbs 10:12 "Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offences." 

 So do you understand true love? I wrote word-for-word of what my Bible said. Of course, if you looked up these verses in your Bible, they would probably be mildly different. My Bible is English Standard Version(ESV). But anyway, do you have a different vision in your head of love after reading this?




Loving Him more everyday...
