What does Love look like?

Love can be defined as an intense feeling of deep affection; a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another; a feeling of warm personal attachment as toward a friend, child, spouse or family member.  Love is the thing that helps you overcome fear and turns your dreams into reality.  Paul defines love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, "Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way, it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things.  Love never ends."  What is interesting is the word that Paul uses for love...Agape.  God's love. This isn't a sappy romantic love, this is a powerful, never ending love that God has for all people because all of us are created in His image and all of us are children of God.  Love looks like God, love is God and God is love.  Therefore we are called to love others as God has loved us.  God was willing to let His Son die on the cross, the ultimate sign of love, and He wants us to love the same way.  What Paul is saying in Corinthians is that God's love is patient, as God is patient; God's love is kind and not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude, just as God.  It does not insist on its own way and neither does God.  God gives us the freedom to choose the things we want.  Do we want niceness and goodness? Are we out just for ourselves and we want fame and fortune? Do we wish to serve God and let God live through us?  If God wanted to He could pull the strings on the marionette that we call earth and this thing we call life but that's not what God wants.  God wants a personal, intimate, loving relationship with all of us, if we are willing and if we want the same thing.  Love looks like the wonder and power and loving relationship with our Lord.  At least that's what love looks like to me.  What does love look like to you? Peace and God Bless.
