The word love is used in 442 verses in the King James Version. We often hear people throw the word love around without fully understanding its meaning. One definition is: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person; a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend. We all know what it feels like to love someone, and know the pain that love can cause in our lives. One thing is for certain and will never change.....The love that God has for us! God has proven to us time and time again how He loves us.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.......And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:4-13
This reflection of love is best suited for relationships. When dealing with relationships, we must nurture the relationships in order to build the love for one another. Love is an emotion that and expressed through various types of relationships. Some of these relationships include: love of a spouse, love between siblings, love of your children or parents, and love of your friends.
"Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other." Thomas S. Monson
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Mother Teresa
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." Martin Luther King Jr.
