Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13
NLT Bible
Millions of people everywhere are celebrating this special day by showing their loved ones how deeply they care. Love is the greatest emotion we have and is the basis for everything else. It's also a word that is used carelessly and frequently by many for their own selfish gain. What then are the attributes of love? Firstly and most important of all, God is the source of love and the ultimate and perfect example of true love.
Love is selfless. We would do anything for the ones we love. It's patient, kind, forgiving and never jealous nor boastful. Love is not irritable and does not hold grudges. There are many who profess their love eloquently, but somehow can hold grudges for a long time. When we truly love someone, we try to see the good in them and overlook the flaws and failures. Love is not passive. It involves action, showing our loved ones how much they mean to us. Love must be the motive for everything we do. Nothing can destroy true love. It endures through all kinds of trials. Sometimes in relationships, things can seem grim and hopeless, but the forgiving power of love can heal all wounds and hurts. Three things will last forever-faith, hope and love-but the greatest of these is love.
Thank you Lord for Your everlasting love. Help me to love as You love, to show love through my actions and to always treat others with love and compassion. Let love be the underlying motive in all that I do. Fill me with Your love. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
