What is love?

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. But where there are prophecies, they will cease, where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Love is the greatest first fruit of the Spirit. God is love. God is full of love. God is always showering is overflowing love on us. It is His love for us, that he sent his Son, Jesus, to die for us. So that by His death, we can be reconciled with Him. God will never forsake us, no matter what what wrong we do to Him. For our lifes no longer belong to us, it belongs to God. God had paid for our life with the death of Jesus. Love Him for He has love us first. Love your neighbour like how you love yourself. From the bible verses above, may all of us be always reminded of God's love for us. And also how we should treat each other in response to God's love. Always trust and never doubt Him, for He love us more than anyone else. No matter what situation he puts me in, how sick I am, how difficult times can be, how lonely I am, I know that God is always there watching over me. When God do not answer my prayers, I should not doubt Him, for He knows what is best for me. I believe that by His grace and mercy, even if he do not heal me from my sickness, He will still provide me with the strength and courage to carry on. What else can I ask for? He had already paid the penalty of sin for me. Life on earth is just temporary, just like all the sufferings I am facing now. Thank you God for saving me, adopting me, giving me a new life. Giving me a place in your heavenly kingdom. By all these things you had done for me, I can see your love for me and I love you God. Amen
