What is love?

From God’s words:

1 Corinthians 13

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Proverbs 30

“There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:

the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a maiden

John 15:13

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Ephesians 5

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,  and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.  In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.  After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church—  for we are members of his body.  “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.  However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

These are profound words from the bible. Verses I have come to know.

I’ve asked myself this question many times. What is love? How do I express it?

Recently, I had a revelation. I should be prepared to lay down my life just as Christ laid His on the cross. I realized that all these while I had been “playing safe”. I told myself that I need to know if the girl is interested in me before I start to pursue her. I’m mostly interested in her beauty, and what she can offer me.

Selfish aint it? I can jolly well blame it on my defense mechanism kicking in, or humbly admit that I need a change of heart. Yes, my past failed relationship has etched a scar.

I need courage, to move on from failures. The shadow of fear, cast upon the possibilities of rejection is only human.

I will choose to move in the supernatural, to be a braveheart. FIGHT ON! for the most precious gift from God is a fair maiden’s heart. Just like a fairytale, I will brave the tallest castle, travel unchartered paths and battle the fiercest dragon, to rescue you and have a happily ever after.
