10 Ways to Love

We know how hard it is to define LOVE but look what I found. The Bible itself has its concrete definition of what really love truly means:

"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."
(1 Corinthians 13:4)



And now, here are the 10 ways to love according to the Holy Book:

Listen without interrupting
(Proverb 18)
He who answers before he hears-- his is the folly and the shame

Speak without accusing.
(James 1:19)
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger

Give without sparing.
(Proverb 21:26)
All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.

Pray without ceasing.
(Colossians 1:9)
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.

Answer without arguing
(Proverb 17:1)
Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.

Share without pretending
(Ephesians 4:15)
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Enjoy without complaint.
(Philippians 2:14)
Do everything without grumbling or arguing

Trust without wavering.
(Corinthians 13:7)
it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres

Forgive without punishing.
(Colossians 3:13)
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Promise without forgetting
(Proverbs 13:12)
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life


So, spread some love my friend.. ♥
