True Love

What is love? You see different viewpoints of what love is everywhere. You walk down the street and see someone holding another's hand. You think, "They must really be in love". You go to your favorite restaurant and see a husband and a wife sitting side by side, gazing into each other's eyes, totally oblivious to the fact that their food has been sitting in front of them for the last ten minutes, and again you think to yourself that they must be in love.

But, why is our divorce rate higher than it's ever been before? Why does abuse abound in so many relationships? In my honest opinion, I believe that our definition of love is warped. We may think we know what love is, but in actuality, we may not know love at all.

Jesus showed us the true meaning of love all throughout His Word. He said, "If you say you love Me, but hate your brother, the love of God is not in you". Again, He said, "There's no greater love than this, then for a man to lay his life down for his friends". So, what is love? Love is putting others before yourself. Love is not harboring bitterness, but showing forgiveness. Love is when you're willing to lay everything on the line, just to help someone else. Love is caring so much that you would give someone your very best.

So, what is true love? God is Love.
