1 John 4:7-21
What is love? I asked this question on our Facebook pages last week. Some of you provided me with some great answers. Marlis shared some definitions of love from kids.
Chrissy – age 6 said "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Nikka - age 6 - If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Jessica - age 8 - "You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Noelle - age 7 - "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day."
Karl - age 5 - Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Love is giving the last piece of cake to your sibling.
Love is when your sibling gives you the last piece of cake.
Love is letting the person behind you in the grocery line go first.
Love is Selflessness: placing someone else and their needs ahead of your own.
Love is laying down your life for another; Pointing people to Jesus; Kind; Patient; Keeps no record of wrong.
Love is when you care even though you are flipping mad, disappointed, or hurt.
Love is not this mushy feeling as much as it is a choice to act on the emotion. The more you act lovingly to someone the more likely you are to begin loving them. Love is choosing to be a servant to others and becoming other entered instead of self-centered as Christ did for the all people!
Love is unwavering commitment.
Love is sacrificing me for the we.
