Definition
of Love
:
Love cannot be adequately defined by a modern dictionary or Hollywood, it is not an emotion or bubbly feeling, but
rather, a patient, sacrificial person whom God created to be of the utmost
importance in our Christian lives.
It is an action founded in Christ, of whom
our perfected example lays. It overlooks age, race, color, and social and
economic standings. It corrects, reaches, instructs, teaches, and touches the
very soul. It looks past hate and pride – of which pride is forth most, its
enemy; since every sin somehow, is stemmed from that wicked root.
Love is thereby adequately defined by 1 Corinthians 13
which declares Love
to be patient, merciful; it is an action of sorts, the opposite of hate, and
above all the Divine Nature of Providence and starkly, uncompromisingly
opposite to lust, hate, emotion, and pleasure – which almost invariably stem
from pride.
Love is simply the absence of pride
resulting in an “others’ oriented” mindset, seated upon Christ and worked out
with healthy fear and trembling (which is due to the fact that Love is our
only true calling).
Side note:
Humility, Contentment, and Affection all stem from
this ‘odd’ four letter word – that is, L-O-V-E.
