Love Is 

Bright bonfire surrounded by a small group of people in a grassy field at dusk

Love is patient  

Love is kind 

Love is the glue that holds us together 

Love is the gift of a loving God 

Who loves us and wants us to be loved 

If I have all the money in the world but have not love 

What do I really have 

Love makes life worth living 

Love is not envious or rude 

It fills you soul, your heart with joy, and sometimes pain 

But is always worth it 

Even if it’s just for a season 

Love is gentle yet fierce  

It is an all-consuming bonfire, yet also a gentle warmth 

Filling you with joy, peace, and comfort 

Love never ends it just changes forms 

For some people or places, it may turn into hate, but it never disappears 

But it never changes without reason 

Whether it’s a betrayal of trust or you or the other not feeding the flames of love 

For make no mistake Love does not exist in a vacuum 

Many things can affect it 

And Love is work 

It requires effort on both people’s parts 

Love doesn’t revel in evil, but revels in truth and goodness 

Love is the greatest joy and the greatest sorrow 

Without love, are we any more than animals? 

Love should be the driving force behind the world 

Unfortunately for many it is not 

But you can do your part to make it so 

Spread love and goodness wherever you go 

Make your path be full of light and love. 

1Cor 13:1-1Cor 13:7 ESV 
 
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it…
