Love is....

A few scriptures from 1 Corinthians 13: 1 ~ 8a (The Message).

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ectasy, but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

It I speak of God's Word with power, revealing all His mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain 'Jump', and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing.

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere.

So, no matter what I do, I am bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut.
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first",
Doesn't fly of the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of the truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

Love never dies.

Loving others is never an easy task and it is a life-long lesson. But God wants us to love others like we love ourselves, like how He has loved us and we have the best model to look up to which is Jesus Christ!!! =)
