Love
is saturated in these as well as so many other things. As a matter of
fact, love seems to be the very basis of everything we want. But do we
know what God considers love to be?. is it a feeling or an action? And
why is it so easy to say "I love Alata Fried Rice" and so hard to say "I
love you"? Why can a girl say "I love you" to her best friend, but some
men wouldn't repeat that to even their own brother?
Do we know what love is? Have we looked into the idea in music, poems, romance novels, and postal cards? I'm venturing to tell you, if you have not studied and applied the principals guides in 1 Corinthians 13, then you probably have the wrong ideas about love all together.
Lets look at the scriptures, starting with 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand it's own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps not record of when it has been wronged. Love is patient.
Are you a patient person? Do you find it easy to sustain your happiness when time is passing your very limits of a calm and peaceful spirit? Patient according to the Websters Advance Dictionary as: : : : : :
*bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint
*manifesting forbearance under provocation or strain
*not hasty or impetuous
*steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity
*able or willing to bear And Kind
The next thing we find out about love is it is kind. Think of a kind person like me (*Laugh*), they always seem to go out of their way for others. You can't really picture a kind person's actions or acting out in selfishness. If you are willing to say someone is a kind person, they appear to you as being very tender-hearted and selfless. These are the qualities of a kind person, and of love!
Love Is Not Jealous
Have you ever been jealous? They say jealousy is the green-eyed monster. Jealousy can tear apart family, friendships,and cause us to become bitter, unforgiving, ultimately leading us away from God.
In Christian times, St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The first Valentine's Day cards were mass-produced in the 1840s. Now, Valentine's Day is not just for lovers, but a time to express your love to anyone young and old. True love might happen more than once in your life, as 12-13% of men and women aged 22 and older get married twice. 3% have married three or more times. At least the good news is 58% of women have only been married once and the same is true for 54% of men.
