"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." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)
In his letter to the Christians in Corinth, the Apostle Paul describes what love is, and what love is not. His point was that doing the right thing, without love in your heart for whomever you are doing it for, is pointless. It is important to love one another.
Love for our fellow man is not to be confused with romantic love or with lust. It is more than just brotherly love, it is Godly love. Love benefits the recipient of love, not the giver. Love is a God-like virtue that we should demonstrate towards each other.
I write and maintain a blog which I have entitled “Accordingtothebook” and I’d like to invite you to follow it.
