well.....
many times we go to the bookshops and there r zillion titles on what love is...
currently on a book - The power of Simple Prayer- joyce meyer
tis' how she sort of state what love is:
What does it mean to have the kind of faith that works through love?
- means that we love people who do not seem to deserve to be loved.
- means that when someone deserves for us to stay angry with them- we forgive them
-means that there are going to be times when we would love to talk about what someone did to us, but we choose to cover their offense instead because the bible teaches us that "love covers a multitude of sins"(1 peter 4:8)
- give people unconditionally, with no strings attached. we simply give because we walk in love.
walking in love means we have a heart like God. (generous, kind, merciful, forgiving, compassionate, always believing the best, always encouraging, always helping, never giving up.
Refer to 1 corinthians 13
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is long suffering
Love is not easily offended
Love always believes the best about people, it does not default to the negative
Love sacrifices; love meets needs; love gives and gives and gives
Love edifies
Love encourages
Love listens
Love is the law of the kingdom and the nature of God.
