Love is unconditional - no strings attached. Love is not manipulative but is kind, gentle, compassionate and merciful. Love is not puffed up, is not boastful and it does not envy but love believes all things, beareth all things, hopeth all things, and endureth all things. Love do not rejoice in iniquity nor the demise of another but love feels the pain of the one who is hurting and gives comfort. Love will lay down his/her life for a friend. Love is divine, it is sacred, it is serene, peaceful as it exudes with confidence in the one who gives it. There is a limit to human love, but God's love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13: 4-7)
Love is real. It comes only from God and it cannot be changed. Love is God's character of who He is. He gives mercy as an expression of His love. Everything He does, it is out of His love for us. It is hard to imagine the world without this kind of love. And so in our manifestation of our love, we must first love God.
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
What are your thoughts on love?
Do you wait for someone else to give it to you before you can reciprocate or you just give it naturally?
Whatever your thoughts, love is a powerful thing! There is absolutely nothing greater than love. Love is God and God is love!

Looking forward to that column Chris. And as always, appreciate you stopping by and leaving your thoughts, and also sharing with others. God bless you much!
DeleteVery inspirational article. To add to what you have said, love is also manifested through an action...it can be as simple as giving someone a call and asking how are you doing today? Is there anything I can help you with? Love is patient. Love not only forgives but it forgets the wrong that was done.
