"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away"~1 Corinthians 13:4-7
This is what love is,
It is all these and more,
Greatest of all is that it never fails,
And it covers up a multitude of sins,
Blessed is he who has love,
We all need it,
And the world does too,
Don't relent in showing love to one another,
Be ever ready to spread out your arms to receive another,
Be ever ready to give others the gift that you've received,
The gift of love...

What Is Love?
What is love? What is love if there's no patience? What is love if there's no kindness? What is love, if all that there is is envy and jealousy? What is love in the midst of pride and pomposity? What is love in the midst of toxicity and chaosity? What is love in the midst of unforgiveness? What's love when there's no peace? What's love when evil reigns and rules? What's love when all the sins of men are laid bare? What's love when all that exists and matters is self-gratification? Can love exist in the midst of all these? Can love thrive? Can it suffice? Can it remain? Can love stand the test of time? Can love be the opposite of all this negativity and even more? Can men love one another? Can they do so effortlessly, unconditionally? And will they? What do you think? I put it to you🫵
