What is LOVE?


If LOVE is the most important thing
then why do we treat it as if it were something trivial?
If LOVE is the most valued thing
then why do we throw it away as if it were not meaningful?

LOVE is Patient and LOVE is Kind
but why do turn away from others and act as though blind?
LOVE is not Jealous and LOVE does not Boast
but we covet each other's beauty and think that we're better than most. 
LOVE is not Proud and LOVE does not Dishonor others
but we take offense easily and slander our brothers.
LOVE is not Selfish and LOVE is not quick to get upset
but we think of "number one" and over small things we fret.

LOVE does not count up wrongs that have been done
even the prostitutes and tax collectors communed with the Son
LOVE takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in truth
so let's LOVE with a passion that we learn in our youth

LOVE patiently accepts all things
so let's take our inheritance and live like real Queens and Kings
and not forget this wisdom that makes us what we are
LOVE always trusts, always hopes, and always endures
so I won't forget that You are mine and I am Your's
and no matter what  nothing can pull me back to the start

LOVE never ends
so let's make this where the LOVE revolution begins...

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
