What is Love, Really?

Ah, the age-old question: What is love??? Is love real? Is it available to everyone?

Of course it's real!! And yes, everyone can find & experience it.

Love isn't just romantic, you know. It's not just a feeling.....it's a "doing".

Whether you apply the concept of love to a romantic relationship, or to a family member or friend, or whether you show love to your fellow man.... love is something that when applied the right way, just makes everything better.

A person doesn't have to believe in the words of the Bible if they don't want to. I'm not asking anyone to believe in God, although I would be happy to think that those reading this know that God loves them. But here's the thing: no matter what a person's beliefs are, one can't deny the wisdom in the following passage of the Bible. This passage is often referred to as "The Love Chapter", & it can be found in 1 Corinthians 13. It's a small chapter, with only 13 verses, but verses 4-7 are especially important:


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


Now of course I could expound on the above Bible verses, but what more needs to be said? It already says it all. Now if we could all treat our fellow man, our friends & loved ones with this type of love, the world would indeed be a better place!
