Love is so misunderstood these days. We associate it with a physical relationship or how much someone does for us. How did we get so off the point of what love is? Thankfully we have a few examples of what a healthy understanding of Love is from God's Word.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8: LOVE IS:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 John 4:8: LIFE WITHOUT LOVE:
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Proverbs 21:21: PURSUIT OF LOVE:
He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.
Romans 5:8: GOD'S LOVE:
But God shows his love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
1 Chronicles 16:34 : GOD'S LOVE FOREVER:
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
God's love is eternal, he will not leave or forsake you, no matter what you have done. Realize that Jesus is a God of mercy and forgiveness. Hold strong to those TRUTHS! Memorize one (or all) of these verses and the next time the enemy attacks or causes you to think you may be "unlovable" just fight with words of Truth.
