What Is Love?

GOD IS LOVE!

EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD!

LOVE IS PATIENT, KIND, DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT A WRONG SUFFERED!
WITH WHO? PARENTS, CHILDREN, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, SIBLINGS, RELATIVES, BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, EVEN YOUR ENEMIES. HOW HARD IS IT TO LOVE SOMEONE THAT SHOWS LOVE TO YOU? NOT VERY HARD! BUT, WHY NOT GO THE EXTRA MILE EVEN WITH YOUR ENEMY?
WHEN YOU DO THAT IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU SOMETIME. IF YOU APPLY THIS PRINCIPLE IT CAN TURN AN ENEMY INTO A GOOD FRIEND! IF PEOPLE TRIED TO APPLY THESE PRINCIPLES THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE FOR ALL.
SURE THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING HURT IS RISKY. ARE PEOPLE NOT WORTH THE RISK?
JESUS THOUGHT SO! HE RISKED LOVING THOSE THAT LOVED HIM, DIDN'T LIKE HIM, BEAT HIM, FLOGGED HIM, AND CRUCIFIED HIM. EVERYONE HAS A CHOICE TO RECEIVE HIS ULTIMATE SACRIFICE OF LOVE--HIS OWN LIFE. THAT'S HOW IMPORTANT TO GOD LOVING YOUR ENEMIES IS--WORTH HIS SON!GOD IS LOVE! JESUS WANTED TO SHOW WHAT THE FATHER IN HEAVEN WAS REALLY LIKE! LOVE!

EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD!

WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD!
FAITH WORKS BY--LOVE--
FAITH--SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR--EVIDENCE OF THINGS YOU CAN'T QUITE SEE YET!
IF FAITH WORKS BY LOVE AND WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD!--THEN DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO WALK IN LOVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE?
MOST HAVE HEARD OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
SOME KNOW THEM SOME DON'T.
SOME LIVE SO STRONGLY BY THEM THEY BRAKE THEM WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING IT! THEY FORGET TO WALK IN LOVE!
JESUS WAS ASKED A QUESTION. WHAT WERE THE GREATEST COMMANDMENTS?
THE ANSWER? LOVE---THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH (ALL)
YOUR HEART, SOUL(MIND, WILL, AND EMOTIONS), AND YOUR STRENGTH, AND LOVE---YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. ON THESE TWO THINGS HANG THE LAW(COMMANDMENTS) AND THE PROPHETS!
IN OTHER WORDS WHEN YOU WALK IN LOVE YOUR LIVING OUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!
WE ALL COULD IMPROVE ON OUR LOVE WALK.
REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE? DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.
NOT DO UNTO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO UNTO YOU!

LOVE HOPES ALL THINGS, BELIEVES ALL THINGS(FAITH), AND ENDURES ALL THINGS!

NOW OUT OF THESE THREE THINGS: FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE ---THE GREATEST IS LOVE!
MULTIPLIED BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS BLOG!
