What Love Is

Many people come across the commonly asked question in life, “what is love?” What they don’t understand is that the answer to that question was answered a very long time ago. 1 Corinthians 13 verses 4-7 says, “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, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” Love to me means putting other’s needs first before my own. Love never fails, and it is patient. I strive to stay true to all of what love is, but sometimes I fail. When I feel like I am not doing my best I go to the maker of love, God, to help guide me again. God is love.
