When asked the famous question, “What is love?” I always refer to what Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 13. If everyone could live according to these admonitions, the world would be such a loving and joyful place.
“Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, doesn't have a swelled head, doesn't force itself on others, isn't always "me first," doesn't fly off the handle, doesn't keep score of the sins of others, doesn't revel when others grovel, takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, puts up with anything, trusts God always, always looks for the best, never looks back, but keeps going to the end. Love never dies.”
In a world where we see more than we’d like of selfishness and hatred, we need to strive to walk in love daily and be an example of God’s character. Love really does make a difference.
