Love is.....

^{You must be seeking the Father for strength from the Holy Spirit in order to truly walk in Love.}

Galatians 5:²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ²³Meekness, temperance: against such, there is no law. ²⁴And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. ²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

 

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-13(ESV)

⁴ Love is patient and kind;( Are you patient and kind with those you claim to love?)

 love does not envy or boast;( can you truely rejoice with people in their victories and not talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.)

 it is not arrogant ⁵ or rude. ( do you have an exaggerated sense of your own importance or abilities or: ill-mannered, bad-mannered, impolite, discourteous, uncivil, ill-behaved, unmannerly, mannerless)

 It does not insist on its own way; 

it is not irritable or resentful;^{[a]  (having or showing a tendency to be easily annoyed or made angry or feeling or expressing bitterness or indignation at having been treated unfairly.)}

  ⁶ it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,  (
illegal or dishonest behavior.

but rejoices with the truth.

  ⁷ Love bears all things, (carry, bring, transport, move, convey, take, fetch, deliver, tote, lug, support, carry, hold up, prop up)

 believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.⁸ Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. ¹² For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.¹³ So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

 

John 13:34 - A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Ecclesiasticus 2:15  They that fear the Lord will not disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways.
