What is love* Haddaway

What is love? I thought of blogging about this as today is Valentine's Day!

And where better to get the answer than the Bible!

Found this on social media
The pic actually summarises what 1 Corinthians 13 say about love - love is patient and kind. It 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 in wrongdoing. It rejoices instead in the truth. Love bears, believes, hopes and endures all things.

What wonderful and glorious truths. Too often, love has been misrepresented. Love has become selfish. Love only thinks of its own. No, that is not love.

The Bible tells us that God is love. And therefore, these descriptions of love in 1 Corinthians 13 are actually descriptions of  Jesus himself.

And it should be our goal that it describes us too.

As i think of myself as a husband, as a father, as a son, as a brother, as an uncle, do I love like how God wants me to?
