"As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote time and energy to those who have both."

What is Love?

The definition of Love: 1: 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.1Corinthians 13:4-7~ 2: Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 ~ 3: Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Romans 12:9-17~ 4: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,~ In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, Ephesians 5:25&28-29~~ (for more definitions check out the Word of God.)

Love is not lust, sex, or outward beauty, it is much more. It is choosing to place your love on someone and loving them through thick and thin and till the end. It is loving like Christ loves the church (which is the greatest kind of love there is). It is a selfless attitude you have to all who you come in contact with. It is giving up your life for not only your love ones, but for your enemies as well. It is a Man on a cross who drank every last drop of Gods wrath... and He did it for you...is this the love you have???
