Yesterday, I read these very beautiful verses from the Bible about LOVE which is also one of my favorite scriptures from the Bible. Nicholas Sparks also mentioned these verses in one of his books, A Walk To Remember. And LOVE suppose to define in such a beautiful way;
"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 version."
or a more simplify version;
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
These beautiful verses about LOVE speaks for anybody; family members, husband and wife, parent and children, siblings, friends, etc. It is also speaks for God's unconditional love for everyone of us!
Sadly, many people in this world make their own definition of love base on their own understanding, feeling and desire. As the result, so many people suffered because of love, especially the selfish kind of love, with hurts and heartbroken. I like this song, sang by The Corrs but I find it quite sad that love is defined in such a way;
"Love breaks and love divides,
Love laughs and love can make you cry,
I can't believe that ways,
That love can give,
And love can take away.
-Love Gives Love Takes by The Corrs"
Love is something very beautiful, it is something more than feeling! It is definitely something beyond our understanding! It also don't define by our own selfish desire. And of course, it is also more than just a love song that you ever heard. So, what is LOVE again?
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
God bless! Cheerio :)
Blessed New Year!
