Do you have love?

What is love? Some say that love is patient, it is kind, love does not envy, love does not boast itself, is not puffed up, does not act unseemly (rude), does not seek its own things, is not easily provoked, does not impute evil, rejoices not over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth; it bears all things, it believes all things, it hopes, it endures, it never fails, ...and now there remains faith, hope, and love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love.

What is love? Love is loving your enemies. Love is laying your life down for others. Love is preferring other over self.

Do you love me more than these? Do you love me? Do you dearly love me? said he to him

"verily, verily, I say to you, When you were younger, you were girding yourself and were walking where you would, but when you be old, you shall stretch forth your hands, and another will gird you, and shall carry you where you wouldn't." (Jn 21:18)

Love is not about self. Love is acceptance. Love is not about religion. Love is real experience.

What is love? It is not a definition. It is a "someone" Do you have love? Do you believe in love? Jesus is love.

Who is Jesus? Some say that Jesus is patient, He is kind, He does not envy, He does not boast itself, He is not puffed up, He does not act unseemly (rude), He does not seek its own things, He is not provoked, does not impute evil, rejoices not over unrighteousness, and rejoices with the truth; He bears all things, He believes all things, He hopes, He endures, He never fails, ...and now there remains faith, hope, and Jesus -- these three; and the greatest of these is Jesus.

Who is Jesus? Jesus loves your enemies. Jesus lays His life down for others. Jesus prefers other over Himself.

Jesus loves you.
