Thoughts on Love, Part I

Now that exams are over, I can have some time to myself again, which means that I can work on this little project of mine. The dissection of love. First up, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Love is many things. It waits and does not look to hurt others. Love is humble and is quiet, it is found in the simple things in life

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love is forgiving. it does not keep score but rather works to keep things flowing in harmony. I had a professor once say that he and his wife had an agreement never to go to bed angry. Love is not looking to hold grudges, but rather to forgive

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
How can you have love with secrets?

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love is always with us and we feel the safest when with those that we love because we are loved in return

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Love is always with us because nothing can overcome it. It may be pushed into the background, but it persevers over all. People may not realize that love is there, but it is.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Nothing can beat the power of love
