Down through the ages, many people have tried to define "love."
"Love conquers all" Virgil
"Love is the only gold" Alfred Lord Tennyson
"Who loves believes the impossible" Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"The first duty of love is to listen" Paul Tillich
"Faults are thick where love is thin" An old English proverb
"Love is a great beautifier" Louisa May Alcott
Then we we 1 Corinthians 13, what some Christians commonly call "the love chapter" of the Bible. Since love seems to be indefinable, the Apostle Paul describes how love manifests itself. When directed toward others - spouse, children, family, friends and strangers, love is forgiving and self-giving. No doubt, as Paul was describing the fruits of love, he surely had Christ Jesus in mind. Through faith in Jesus, you have been "caught up" in the love of Christ. Read 1 Corinthians 13 today and then look for those with whom you can share Jesus' love this week!
