LOVE.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love is patient and is kind; love does does not envy; love does not parade itself, it is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek it's 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. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13. Love is really not that complicated if you follow it God's way. The verse says Love is patient and is kind. what it doesn't say is if you feel like, love is patient and is kind. You see throughout these verses, it's telling you what love is. And if you notice they are all actions and have nothing to do with feelings, actually the feelings come after the action if you can grasp this. The way God tell us to love, is in this manner. Giving 100% and not the world's 50/50 which is love with conditions. God's love is without conditions. Loving believe it or not, even when you don't feel like it. But you must be a believer in Christ to achieve this. you won't do it perfectly but will eventually do it genuinely. Without Christ love is the opposite of what we read here. It becomes selfish, thinking whats in it for me and me and me. And when we love God's way, we should never ask for nothing in return. Giving always. Always depending on God for what we need in our lives. When we depend on each other, we will always end up disappointed. But remember it's not easy loving God's way if you don't have Jesus in your heart. All things are possible with God. And God is love.
