What
Is Love?
Man
is looking for the answer
But
from the very start,
He
can't seem to grasp it
In
his head or in his heart.
For
some it's a warm puppy
Or
a homemade apple pie.
For
others it's "never having to say your sorry"
Or
giving "living together" a try.
No
wonder we've become confused
As
we ponder what true love is;
Is
it a decision, or just a feeling?
Let's
see what answer the Bible gives.
When
Paul wrote to the Corinthians
He
also wrote to us today
He
said love is patient and kind
And
doesn't have to have it's own way.
Yes,
true love is not jealous
Does
not brag or become puffed up
It
bears all things, hopes all things and
Endures
all things when the going's rough.
True
love is not just a fuzzy feeling
Based
on emotions that can fade.
It
is a conscious, unselfish, decision
That
we must daily make.

Corinthians 13:4-8a........Love is patient, love is
kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not
easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does
not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres. Love never fails
