What is Love? Is it the first flutter of butterflies found in a kiss? Or is it a journey of endurance walked over a lifetime of commitment to being patient, kind and caring towards one another?
Jesus said that the most important commandment of all is Love. For without love, who are we? What is our purpose in life?
So, what exactly is the kind of love that the bible talks about? St Paul’s letter to the church in Corinth wrote that love is patient, kind and selfless. This kind of love reconciles families, cares for the sick and looks for the good in others.
