Love is...


During our Community sharing on the Scriptures last week we focused on the word love.

The Scriptures gives us a clear explanation of God's view of love. It is not an emotion. It is kind, considered and patient. Love does not envy, is not proud or rude and is never self-seeking or easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs, does not delight in evil and rejoices in truth. It always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres. We need to grasp it, live it and share it. Only God can truly define love. He himself is love. He showed us his love by sending us His Son.
