What LOVE is Not

Love has been given varying definitions over the years. Most equate love to a feeling but I believe love is a decision. You decide to love, you don’t feel to love. Love that is based on ones feelings can be temporary and die with time. The decision to love someone however will stand the test of time. Below I give you the biblical definition of love.

4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end] ... (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 AMP)

As we celebrate the day of love let's meditate on this definition of love. This is what love truly is. There is only one way to love this way that is by the love of God. The Bible says that the love of God has been shared abroad in our hearts, unconditional love that is selfless. Real love is selfless and endures the test of time. Today let everything that you do be marked by no other motive but pure love.

Make someone who may least expect it feel special and loved!
