Love

God is love,

Although I’ve heard this said the other way round

But if that’s true does that not leave everyone to their own devices to create their own ideas about love

What happens if your version is not the same as another’s

Does that make their version of love wrong and yours right

But if so how have you justified that your ‘love’ is right, without something to measure it by

And then what of the differences in culture and changes in society

Won’t these too effects one’s thoughts on love…

And if love is god, then that leaves one to create their own god to suit their desires

Their own idol…

Scriptures tells us to serve no other god

Scripture also tells us love is not a what, but a who…

“He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” - I John‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬

God, unchanging, who never fails, does not depend on man, all powerful, all knowing, compassionate, just, healer, provider, the One who fights for us, Creator, King of kings, Lord of lords, Alpha and Omega…

Love not based on a feeling or emotion, but God

He is love.

And He calls us to love, as He loves…

This is love…

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” - I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I encourage you to look at how you have viewed love and compare it to what the Word of God says it is, then allow Him to grow you in love. It is a choice, a decision that needs to be made
