True meaning of love

[arunangelo]

There are many ideas people have about love. Generally, most people agree that it is to care about others. It is, therefore, not about self, but others.
Love, therefore, is selfless and unconditional; does not have self-interest; and does not seek self-gratification. Since it is unconditional there is no limit to what it can give. It forgives without any limit. It gives even when there is betrayal or hurt. It makes no distinction between friends or foe and it will never stop loving. Furthermore, it seeks no reward for acts of love; rather, considers the opportunity to love others itself a gift. To love is not a feeling. It is a decision we make in response to an inner calling (which is the voice of God) when we see people in need.

 

[tawana]

love also says
If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all secrets and every form of knowledge, and if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains but have no love, I am nothing.

1 Cor 13 v 1

 

[Mark of Faith]

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." - 1 Cor 13:4-7.

Greetings,

yes,

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1John 4:7-8
