The definition of love in the British and World English in Oxford dictionary states that LOVE is “A strong feeling of affection: babies fill parents with intense feelings of love their love for their country”.
However has love left you confused?
There are a few things most people say love isn’t. Some people say isn’t a feeling. Some people say that although real love is often accompanied by strong feelings, love does not equate with the sense of floating on clouds unlike the type of love that movies, television, and songs portray. Some people say that friendships and relationships wouldn’t last long on emotions alone. In fact, most academics say that knowledge is the basis of a healthy relationship.
However what does the bible say about love?
This verse certainly describes the characteristics of true #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.” — I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)
These qualities can most definitely be found in #Jesus #Christ, and should perhaps exist in all truly loving relationships.
Included below are some of the sweetest and most heart touching #loving photos posted on #Godinterest so far during this festive season.

We Love Seeing Old Couples. It Gives Us Hope That #Love Can Stand the Tests of Time. “Young Love Is a Flame; Very Pretty, Often Very Hot and Fierce, but Still Only Light and Flickering. The Love of the Older and Disciplined Heart Is as Coals, Deep-Burning, Unquenchable”. – Henry Ward Beecher

So Jesus Can Relate to Suffering and Pain. In Fact, His Essential Purpose in Leaving His Kingship in Heaven and Condescending to Take Mortal Form Was to Suffer. And It Started with His Birth.

In a world filled with violence and domination we can only hope that one day we will all be so filled with this love. On that day humanity will be free.
Love this! Papa God lays out the definition of true love in His Word! Love is a choice, and we are reminded of this through the choice Papa God made to send His one and only son to die for our sins! What a loving Papa we have that would make a sacrifice so great for us! Thank you for sharing!
True and real love cost God his love.

I completely agree, love is not a virus that grabs and infects us. It’s way deeper than most humans can comprehend. That’s why Christ has to keep reminding us of His love everyday.
I’m just really grateful He doesn’t give up. Love never fails!

Merry Christmas. I thought this is brilliant so decided to reblog it.
To keep it real,
True Love cost $0.00; it pays to be yourself.
If you can afford Love, Jesus wouldn’t have to go to
Calvary for our sins. To prove the point,
Love is a Man that wipes away your tears
after you left Him hanging on the cross for your sins.
Real Talk!
God is Love,
Wykeshia

Good thoughts on this late eve of Christmas!!! May the Love of Christ find you this season and fill your soul.
It will sacrifice everything for the other!
I disagree. Love is the fiercest emotion ever felt. When challenged fierce is putting it lightly.
