Love…the Agape kind.

walkinchrist:

Choosing a mate on emotions alone is not wise. Our emotions need to be cleansed, as they are not the sign of love. “God is love.” If God is not in a relationship, it is not true love. What this world calls love is really lust since it is built on what the other person does for me, not what I can do for him or her. If the other person fails to keep up his end of the bargain, a divorce occurs because the offended mate is no longer pleased. This is the attitude of the world’s so-called “love.” God’s love loves without receiving back; God’s love is forgiving and patient. God’s love is gentle and kind. God’s love waits. God’s love sacrifices. God’s kind of love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13 in the Bible and it gives us a beautiful definition of real love.
