WHAT IS GENUINE LOVE????

The world's concept of love.
Love defined:
according the Websters dictionary: Strong affection or liking for somebody (2) a passionate affection of one person for another(3) the object of such affection

Bible dictionary love: Hebrew (ahavah), Greek (agape)
Presented in scripture as the very nature of God and the greatest of the Christian virtues.

How does these two differ: One is strong affection or liking someone--this depends on a person.

"God is love" that is, which means love is His very nature, His essence. This is unconditional.

hopes always
always perserves
always protects

WHAT LOVE IS NOT:

jealous
envious
boastful
proud
haughty
selfish

A fondness beyond comprehension !!

Just remember that Jesus told us to love each other.

Since God and Jesus too is kinda diffuse for most of us,
atlest we can love each other to begin with.
Hopefully later we will realize that by doing that we also love our creator.

I like the "not" list ... sort of needed this in poster size ... or in neon lights ... in the past.

Some get it. Some don't. blues

Nice blog, Toni. bouquet
and what about if LOVE is more than bible,and if truth is more than bible:where you would find it ??

surely those who know only bible reading:never understood LOVE AS NEED BE !FOR LOVE ITSELF IS INFINITE,BUT BIBLE IS VERY LIMITED BOOK!
AND TRUTH IS INFINITE,THEREFORE NEVER ITS LAW IS WRITTEN IN BIBLE,BUT IN THE HEART OF MAN AND IN HIS MIND AND IN ALL HIS SOUL-SPIRIT AND BODY! THIS IS THE BOOK OF LIFE THAT GOD WRITTEN HIS LAW IN,SURELY BIBLE IS DEAD LEAVES AND CAN,T BE WRITTEN THE LIVING LAW IN IT, BUT THE LIVING LAW IS WRITTEN IN LIVING MAN AND IN LIVING THINGS!AND IF MAN KNOW HOW TO OBEY THAT LIVING LAW:HE NEVER DIES,BUT LIVE FOREVER!FOR, GOD IS ETERNAL AND SO IS HIS LAW.
THEREFORE SEEK LIFE IN LIVING THINGS AND NOT IN DEAD LEAVES PAPERS!
AND YOU WILL SPEAK THINGS OF LIFE OF LIVING ´WHICH BIBLE NEVER GIVEN TO YOU!BUT ARE IN HEAVEN WAITING FOR YOU TO GIVE WHEN YOU SEEK WITH YOUR HEART AND MIND!
I like parti's defination
Love is the meaning of lifeheart beating
If God is love then how come in the bible he is petty, vindictive, selfish, jelous, and demanding ? ? ? . . dunno . .. .I would think that if he is reported to be perfect and able to do or be anything then he would be above that sort of thing . Shure is a mystery to me . . .confused
