In our world today, the word LOVE is used very loosely to describe all sorts of feelings that people have for one another.  Most people have no idea of the true meaning of the word.
True love is described in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and this is the kind of love we should aim to have towards each other.

GOD IS LOVE

Love is patient; love is kind;
It is faithful to the end.
Love is not jealous, it does not boast…
Love the broken heart will mend.

Love is not proud, love understands;
Love will never hurt or wound.
Love does not insist on having its way –
Love to another's needs is tuned.

Love thinks not evil, is not resentful –
Love will never hold a grudge.
Love does not condemn when things go wrong –
True love will never judge.

Love bears all things, believes all things,
And true love will never lie.
Love hopes all things, endures all things,
And love will never, ever die.

The only place to find love like this
Is in your Father up above…
So reach out your arms to God right now,
For you see – GOD IS LOVE.
