Sunday Scripture Blessings Link Up 7 21 19

The Definition of Love



The refined, pristine, perfect definition of Love is....well, let's explore. The above scripture gives us a bird's-eye view of what love truly embraces: patience and kindness and lack of pride, jealousy, or rudeness. Love isn't demanding nor is it irritable, and it keeps no record of wrongdoing. It rejoices in the truth and never quits or loses faith!

What Christian exemplifies all of those attributes all of the time? None. Now read today's verse again and substitute the word love with God. Ready? Next, read the verse as if God were talking to you personally. He never gives up on you, never loses faith in you; and His love never fails. Most of all, despite your imperfections and failures, He continues to love you.

C.S. Lewis said, "He loved us not because we were lovable, but because He is love." What is the true definition of love? God.

  2. Thanks for this beautiful LOVE Scripture. I do fall so short, and I embrace the thought from Sally Lloyd Jones that I am "lovely because he loves me" We are all lovely because he loves us.

  3. There's something about this space, being with you and the others that join this little link up that takes me back to the beginnings of my blogging journey and the feeling of family and friendship there was online. I love it!

  4. That definition makes sense to me too. And with God's help, I try to live so that my name could be substituted in that passage.
