What is Love?

1 Corinthians 13:1-7 says

1 If I speak with the ​a​tongues of men and of ​​angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a ​clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of ​a​prophecy, and know all ​​mysteries and all ​​knowledge; and if I have ​​all faith, so as to ​remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 And if I ​​give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I ​surrender my body ​​to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love ​is patient, love is kind and ​​is not jealous; love does not brag and is not ​arrogant,
5 does not act unbecomingly; it ​does not seek its own, is not provoked, ​does not take into account a wrong suffered,
6 ​does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but ​b​rejoices with the truth;
7 ​bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Verse 12 Continues But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the ​greatest of these is ​​love.

Their are times, when I look in the mirror, and wonder where is my cinderella, when is she going to come into my life, will I ever find her? TV shows, and movies, represent love by having men and woman be attracted to each other by what they see on the outside, not by what is on the inside. But because of what we see on TV, and in the movies, we sometimes wonder are we attractive enough to find that Mr, or Mrs Right. We may have a significant other, and for most of us, we look at the outside appearance, but if that man or woman does not show us love, what good are they. Some of us today, may not feel loved by others, maybe because of our past experiences, or because of our past hurts. We have valentines day coming up, we may wonder how do we celebrate a day of love when we don’t have someone to love or someone that loves us. We may not have that significant person to celebrate Valentines day with, I know I don’t. But we do with God, because no matter what anyone has ever done for us, Jesus Christ came to this earth to die on the cross for our sins. He showed us the greatest example of love more than anyone has ever done, because of his love for us, we can now spend eternity with him. John 3:16 tells us that God loved us enough that He sent his only son for whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life.
