You know the Bible tells us that in the end, of all human emotions, only these 3 will remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Cor 13:13)
Despite its greatness, do we really know what love is? And do we understand and truly appreciate it?
More often than not, we take love for granted and we desire love in a most selfish way. And when we do give our love, it is often given not without reservations. True or not?
Did you know that the Bible speaks of 16 attributes of love? It is found in 1 Corinthians Chapter 13, verses 4-8. For the benefit of all, I shall list them here for easy reference.
Quote:
"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."
Unquote.
It will do us a world of good if we pay attention to these, and to learn and adopt them for our lives. Then, not only will our lives be transformed but the whole world could become a much better place to live in. Indeed, that would be great!
I shall leave you with this simple but meaningful song, entitled "I Love". It's a duet by country crooners, Tammy Wynette and Tom T. Hall.
