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. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8 ESV)
“Love is a strong, deep affection or emotional attachment for another person, animal, or thing. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, love is defined as a strong affection arising out of kinship, personal ties, or sexual attraction.”
Key Types of Love
• Familial Love: A natural, protective bond between family members like parents and children.
• Romantic Love: A passionate, tender affection that often mixes emotional attachment with sexual desire.
• Platonic / Friendly Love: A warm regard, respect, and deep attachment shared between friends.
• Altruistic / Compassionate Love: An unselfish concern and active commitment to the well-being and happiness of others.
Love is a wonderful feeling. The love Jesus has for you is a pure and perfect love. His love brings a peaceful feeling. The children’s song Jesus Loves You is true. Jesus does really love you. And He wants your love back.
Do you love Jesus? Think about it.
Have a fabulous day.
