“The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and  each  will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are fellow  workers. (1 Corinthians 3:8-9)

But the fruit of the spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things there is no law.
                                                                                                Galatians 5:21
        

Lord Jesus Christ, what is love? It is easy for us to say the words but what does it really mean? It must be more than good feelings because there are those that we know we love that make us angry. It must be more than doing because we do not do all we should for those we love.

Lord Jesus Christ, what is love? How can we show it, feel it and live it? What do we need to do? How do we need to be? Can simply giving and doing make us loving or is there more to it?

Lord Jesus Christ, what is love?  Who is it that we should love and how much should we love them? Are there those that we should not love? Are there those that we cannot love? 

Lord Jesus Christ, what is love?*

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.  -  I Corinthians 13:4-8a
