WHAT is LOVE ???

In 1st Corinthians 13:4-7  "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth; bears all things, trusts all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
  
If the body of Christ would only embrace and live by these principles - we would be perfectly in His image.  GOD IS THE PERFECT REFECTION OF LOVE. 

These are NOT EASY tasks to accomplish - but if we set our minds focused on God - they would be fruitful and evident in our daily lives.  The messes that we seem to find ourselves in with situations, people and daily lives - if only we could apply these principles to life, we would be so more better off.

In the next few posts I will go through each attribute of LOVE and give my point of view.

12.  LOVE BEARS ALL
