Remembering What True Love Is

Love is an issue that is talked about often throughout the Bible because of its paramount importance in our daily lives. I remember that love is everywhere that God is, for God is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. But when faith and hope is lost love will soon follow for there is no longer a foundation to secure the love in a relationship. So June 3, 2003, I walked out of an abusive marriage and into a new life with Christ, so I refer to this as my "Independence Day" Because I had learned/internalized so much about what love wasn't during that time in my life that I needed to be reminded of what love was in its entirety God's way. So as I sit here thinking about the goodness of the Lord in sparing my life from dangers seen and unseen in my marriage, I truly believe that none of us know all the ways that God has protected us through the years and with that thought.... I remember that God is the ultimate source of love. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres 8 .Love never fails! So as we go through life today remember to love God's way! Agape.....
