The Meaning of Love
 
 
     What is true love?  Have you ever noticed that how one persons opinion of Love is different for anothers?  Why is it that everyone defines love differently?  So what is the true answer to what love really is?

     I believe the answers to the above questions can be easily explained by looking at how the bible defines Love.  In my opinion if everyone followed these instructions to the letter or as close to it as you can, then you have found the true meaning of love.

     So with all of that said you are probably wondering what the definition of Love is defined by the Bible.  So here it is just as it appears:
 

1 CORINTHIANS 13
 
13)  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love.  I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give all I posses to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
           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.
