Love is an intigral part of our well being.

We need love in our marriage.

We need love to raise children the right way.

We need love to tolerate our job.

We need love to maintain friendship.

However, very few people understand the true meaning of love.

I found the above quote on an inspirational quotes app and it summarized the essence of love.

Love involves listening, speaking, giving, praying, answering, sharing, enjoying, trusting, forgiving, keeping your promises.

If you lack any it is not true love.

God is love!

⁴ Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

⁵ Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

⁶ Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

⁷ Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸ Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
