What is love.?


Love is more than
emotions, and it is
much more than a
good feeling. But
our society has
taken what God has
said about love, sex
and intimacy and
changed it into
simply emotions
and feelings. God describes love in great detail in
the Bible, especially in the Book of First
Corinthians, chapter 13. So that you catch the full
weight of God's definition of love, let me present
verses four through seven (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
to you this way. How much would it meet your
needs if a person loved you as God says we
should be loved:
if this person responded to you with patience,
kindness, and was not envious of you?
if this person was not boastful or prideful?
how about if this person wasn't rude toward
you or self-seeking or easily angered?
what if this person didn't keep a record of your
wrongs?
how about if they refused to be deceitful, but
always were truthful with you?
what if this person protected you, trusted you,
always hoped for your good, and persevered
through conflicts with you?
This is how God defines the love He wants us to
experience in relationships. You'll notice that this
kind of love is "other-person" focused. It is giving,
rather than self-seeking. And there's the problem.
Who can live up to this?

Oke urged his fellow men to allow their babies to enjoy their natural meal. He spoke yesterday at the World Breastfeeding Week (WBW). The programme was organised by LASUTH Community Health Department in conjunction with the hospital’s Pediatrics. According to him, the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding were many. He said: “When a mother breastfeeds her baby, it creates bond between them. It is also a natural family mechanism. Breast-feeding mothers do not have bone diseases, breast and ovarian cancers”. Oke said the state had created an enabling environment for mothers with its policies to work and still feed their babies. “Working and breastfeeding can go together if mothers try because it is necessary to have healthy babies,” he said. On her part, First Lady of Lagos State, Wife o...
