I’m not real big on Hallmark holidays, especially Valentine’s Day, but since the word love is in my ministry’s name, I thought I’d write about it.
There are so many types of love: love between family members, love for friends, romantic love, self-love, a love of life, etc. The dictionary defines love as an intense feeling of deep affection.
In my opinion, love can’t really be defined. It means something different for you and for me.
Here’s what I think about when I think about the concept love… here’s my definition.
Love is sacrifice. It’s putting someone else’s needs before our own. Love is wanting the best for the people in our lives.
I heard somewhere that we like because, and we love despite. Meaning that I like my best friend because she is kind, beautiful, etc., but I love her despite her flaws and imperfections.
Love is more than a four-letter word. It can be seen through our actions. It can be shown everyday, not just on Valentine’s Day. Love is more than saying “I love you.” It’s the little things like, “here’s an umbrella, it’s raining,” “hurry back,” and “watch out.” There are some ways that people show love you to you that you probably don’t even notice.
This isn’t school and there’s no right or wrong definition of love, so comment down below and let me know what your definition is.
Don’t forget to love your first!
Love and hugs,
Julia
