As we think of what love is and what love is not, we can come to this conclusion if God is love then our enemy Satan must not be love. If love for our spouse is given from the heart, if caring for our spouse is done from the heart and if cherish & nurture for our spouse is given from the heart you can't go wrong. If love for our children is given from the heart, if caring for our children is given from the heart, if nurture for our children is given from the heart we can't go wrong. If love for our parents is given from the heart, if caring for our parents is given from the heart, if nurture for our parents is given from the heart we can't go wrong. One might say, why did I specifically name them out in this long dissertation because I want each one to have and hold the same value. Love is a spirit, love is also an action word; therefore, you must do love, you can't just say it and think that makes it happen. You must do love. How do we do love: (1 Corinthians 13:1-13) read it.
And when I think of what love is not, think of just the opposite: you don't have to do a thing, you don't have to even say you love me, even the words are not love. You don't have to care, you don't have to nurture, you don't have to cherish, you don't have to do anything. That's the way you prove you don't love me when you do nothing. If you see me blindly walking into a dangerous intersection and you do nothing, if you see me groping for food and you do nothing, if you see me destitute lonely and cold and you do nothing; that's a perfect example of what love is not.
You give me a gift out of your abundance, you give me a gift to shut my mouth, you give me a gift to tell me you love me, that's not love. You sacrifice something even if you call it a sacrifice, and you give out of your abundance that's not love. Even if you gave me your last penny and you didn't do it from the heart that's not love. If giving from the heart and sacrificing from the heart is an act of love, then doing otherwise is not an act of love. But please remember the gift or sacrifice act, is not love; it's the doing of love from the heart that's love.
