LOVE is one virtue that everyone can choose to have. It is perhaps the best and most important of all virtues. Love is a language that everyone speaks and understands. It is a song that everyone enjoys. It is a gift that everyone seeks to receive, but many don't know how to give in return. It is a virtue that distinguishes truth from lies. Love is an action word, not just spoken words. Everyone feels the impact of love wherever it exists.
Love, a simple four letter word, has has been given various meanings. When you take a look at our world today, it is very obvious that the world need love and as such it would not be an overstatement to say that we all need love. Everyone is looking for love, yet not everyone is willing to give it away.
As much as the demand for love is high in our world today, there are many misconceptions about love. It has been misunderstood and mistaken to mean many things that are quite far from the real meaning of love, including lust, infatuation, romance, sex, dating, etc. The movies on TV, the print and electronic media are all so full of wrong impressions about love, thus distorting the true meaning of love.
The world is currently filled with so much evil resulting from the failure to live in love. The only remedy is to return to love.
We can correct the distorted meaning of love by taking a look at the best definition of love as the Bible outlines in 1 Corinthians 13, which explains all that love is, and also what it is not.
Love is the single most important virtue that God expects us to possess. When you have love, it gives birth to all other virtues and creates the atmosphere for all other virtues to grow in your life.
We can change our world by accepting love and giving it out one person at a time until the world realizes what love really means. Be the first to start it and you will discover that love is all that really matters.
