What Is Love?

Love is patient and kind.  Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or wide.  It does not demand its own way.  It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.  It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.  (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)


The above Scripture is easily one of the most recognized passages in the Holy Bible.  It is one of the most commonly read Scriptures at weddings and is also the most descriptive verses about what love actually is.

The truth is that God is love. Love simply would not exist if it were not for His love for us. This is proven by the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. He took on the burden of all of mankind's sins on the cross, died, was buried, and then rose again from the grave.

As we celebrate our love with that special person(s) on this Valentine's day, let's not forget to give God all the glory and praise, for loving us first!
