True Love

       The oxford dictionary definition of love is a strong feeling of affection. Love is a word that comes and goes, but few people really know what it means to really love someone.  Most people think of love as their family providing for them or their friends sticking up for them.  When I think of love, it is kind and gentle. Love is does not behave rudely or “puffed up” and love does not think evil of people. My point of view of real love is much more than relations with people. True love is what my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, did on the cross. My bible says that he died on the cross for everyone’s sins, so that we could have life more abundantly on Earth. If he would not have done that, I don’t know where we would be as a people. His love for mankind is the kind of love I want to have for people. Love should not be seen as doing one good thing for a friend. It’s treating every person with kindness from your heart; just as Jesus did. No matter the pigment of your skin; everyone is fearfully and wonderfully made.  Love never fails!
