ἀγάπη


"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

Love is a gift that we have from God.

The love that is used in this passage is the greek word, ἀγάπη (agapē). Which describes the love that God has for us, and the love we should have for God and others.

In our society today love is a word that we flipantly use to describe our favorite shoes, team, restaurant, or car.

Lets get back to what love really means. The kind of love that God has for us. The kind of love he had in sending Jesus to die for us. (John 3:16)

Evil can not prevail over God's love!

Simply put LOVE WINS!

Shine On!
