A friend of mine threw a small party yesterday and it was absolutely lit. Now, at the party i kept hearing the word love get tossed around and at some point i drifted into one of mental discussions with myself.

WHAT IS LOVE?

I MEAN REALLY... WHAT IS TRUE LOVE...
Now there is a place in the bible that actually defines love, or should i say the characteristics of love.
Before i share it let me say this. A lot of the time people confuse some emotions for love

  • lust
  • physical attraction
  • fondness
    Etc
    But for me,

Love goes beyond emotions, it is a decision, a commitment. It is unconditional

Now to define love 1 Corinthians 13 vs 4-8

Love is patient and kind
Love is not jealous and does not brag
Love is not proud
Love is not rude
Love is not selfish
Love is not quick to anger
Love does not hold grudges
Love is always after the truth
Love never gives up on people
Love never stops trusting
Love never looses hope and never quits
LOVE NEVER ENDS

So the next time you say you love someone think about it. Do you really?

Lol....

That's so funny
Many people have different views on love

That's the true definition of love brother, thanks for the reminder

Wow good defination

The good word says it all. It's our will to follow what it says that makes it complicated. We like to complicate things and thus our judgement is clouded by what we want and affects how we love.

Hmmm, what love is depends on what type of love youre talking about dont you think? Is it Eros, Agape etc

I believe the two u mentioned are simply different shades of a single color.... Whether its eros or agape those characteristics still hold...
