Love..!! Love..!! Has anyone seen Love..??!!
Have you ever tried to define Love? Or even live Love?
The definition is easy... Living it is a different story..
Love is clearly defined in 1st Corinthians 13:4-8a
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice
at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things,endures all things. Love never ends.
I'd like to focus on just a few of the words to help clarify what it looks like to "live love".
Love "Bears"... to cover with silence (endure patiently): forbear, suffer.
Love "Endures"... to undergo, bear trials, have fortitude, persevere, abide, patient, suffer, tarry behind.
Love "Never Ends"... not at any time, fail or fall down.
There is one resounding theme in Love.. Love gives, it Never takes.
And there are no strings attached!
I have to ask this question even of myself....
Are you living Love?
Do you Love your wife?
Do you love your husband?
Do you love your children?
DO YOU LOVE THE LORD?
Our pitfall is self. We want.
Selfishness is rooted in all of us. I believe that is why we are given the
perfect model of love in Jesus Christ.
He bore our sins... the penalty of those sins...
He was separated from the Father....
So that those who trust in Him will never be separated.
Accept Christ today, and "live Love", not self.
