In
our African society we have manifested love in different ways.
We demonstrate respect and support for elders. We fight for
dignity of our people. We share what we have even though little.
However, God's kind of love is different.
Believe
and receive His love that lasts forever.
If
I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have
the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all
knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to
the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not
love, I gain nothing.
Love
is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous, love does not
brag and is not arrogant; Is it not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
endures.
Love
never fails… Now three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13.
God
is love.
1 John 4:8
