What is love?
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud"
Love is patient. Sometimes, that line makes me think I have never loved. Or I'm only patient with the wrong people. But should I tag anybody as a wrong person?
"It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."
But how do I love when I'm not getting any in return
" But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
He loved us first and eventually, we're coming around. But even if the person you love doesn't eventually love back, it's not a waste of emotions cause your Creator knows and has your back any which way. And the wonderful thing about love is that the heart is so big, it can love as many as possible
"Do to others as you would have them do to you. "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful"
Loving is actually beautiful. Doing something for someone that can't repay you is one of the best feelings ever. One just has to pray that circumstances don't get to them to the extent that they stop loving. He who doesn't love doesn't know God and God is real. Best believe it. :)
