What Love Really Is

     Some people only think about love during Valentine's Day and only define love as a deep affection between a man and a woman. Lust is sometimes misinterpreted as love, but love has nothing to do with that feeling. Love is actually a combination of many different attributes.       Patience, forgiveness, and care are only a few symptoms of love. For example, if you love someone, you will be patient with them, be willing to forgive them, and care about them. I also believe there are different types of love and different reasons why you would love someone or something. A woman will love her own child as soon as she sees it because it is a part of her, and she gave birth to it. A child will show love toward a household pet because of how cute it looks or how friendly it is towards the child. Love can also be unconditional. Jesus Christ showed unconditional love for us when He died on the cross for the sins of the world. He also showed love through His sacrifice. I believe Jesus showed the most unconditional love than anyone in the history of this world ever has.
