1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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.
This is not just some words printed in a book. This is not just some webster definition. This is what the creator of love has said love is. Some people amaze me how they can say, Well I love them when I first met them but I don't love them any more. Or I don't know if I love them like I used to. Love is a lot of things, but one thing it is not is unsure. You can not just turn TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE on and off like a light. Either you love or you don't, there is no in between. To care for one and to love one is two different things.
I believe we throw the word Love around as if it was a softball or something. Should we hear LOVE more often, YES. BUT we should know what TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is before you use the word. Once you tell someone you love them no matter who they are I guarantee they expect, hope and pray that you mean it forever. Love should never be unsure, never a fight, but something definitely worth fighting for.

Love is not a feeling, it is an action. We choose to love. Just as Christ chose to die for us all becuase He loves us! Love is an action, not a feeling. So may we choose to love unconditionally day by day, minute by minute. By giving of ourselves to others. John 15:13 says "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends."
