♥LOVE ♥

I've been checking the Bibletalk Blog lately and I've been seeing not many people are posting as before, I encourage you guys to POST! haha but seriously those posts I've been reading are SO encouraging even though you  might not know it those posts get us through the day, and so I just wanted to share a quick thought.  All throughout  the Bible there is this word, its called LOVE. The human definition of LOVE is " a strong positive emotion of regard and affection." The bible tells us GOD is LOVE it says it in 1 John 4:8 "Whoever does not LOVE does not know God, because God is LOVE." So if God is LOVE so 1 Corinthians 13 tells us " LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, 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." So that has to mean God is patient, God is kind . He does not envy, he does not boast, he is not proud, he does not dishonor others... but God tells us in his word to LOVE our neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31) and you have to LOVE one another (John 13:34-35) Wow that's hard!!! But we can't do it on our own ! God's word say's " I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me!"(Philippians 4:13) Just to finish it off we know the definition of LOVE according to man but here is the definition according to John the brother of James the Son of Zebedee he said "Herein is LOVE, not that we loved God, but that he LOVED us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins" Amen !-
