Bidemi Olu-Davies talking about Love in…
LOVE IS…
Everyone knows that love is good and that
it’s good to love but what or who is love? Is love a person or a feeling? These
and others is what I want to shed more light on in this article, be blessed as
you read. Amen.
The King James Bible says God is love and
love is of God… have this at the back of your mind dear reader that a simple
definition of “good” is “like God”. So I posit, if love is a person how do I
love? Love is not definable outside of the person, Love? Looking at
1Corinthians 13, I discovered the following:
Prophesy does not define love
Understanding mysteries does not define
love neither does knowledge and faith
Benevolence does not define love neither
does self sacrifice.
But, love is defined by the following
attributes:
Love suffereth long… the ability to suffer
(go through privations) for a very long time without complaining
Love is kind
Love envieth not, vaunteth not itself and
is not puffed up
Love does not conduct itself in a manner
that is unseemly, seeketh not “her” own
Love is not easily provoked
Love thinketh no evil
Love rejoiceth not in iniquity but in
truth
Love beareth all things
Love believeth all things
Love hopes in all situations
Love endureth all things (situations)
The above are the attributes of the person
called love, the Person God.
The Bible exhorts us to put on love which
is the bond of perfectness.
How do we love? Or what is
expected of a person “in love”?
All these elements described above are
what perfect love entails and are the attributes in a life that can be said to
be in love… it all takes a conscious effort to be loving.
I pray the Lord God Almighty help us to
love and be loving as we allow His Holy Spirit to envelop us as we “put on
love”.
The Bible says Love never fails, the
reason believers end up as failures in life – failing God and themselves is
because they lack the spirit of love.
I pray for you, you shall not end up a
failure in life and destiny as you walk in love by God’s Grace. Amen!
Shalom!
