What is Love?

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

^“4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 

This verse is an example of what love truly is. I once heard a preacher say if you look at your significant other you should be able to replace love with that person’s name and it should still be true. Love isn’t easy but it is worth it. This example is what we should be striving for, even if you aren’t a Christian. All of the things listed in that verse are beautiful and worth having Christian or not.
