HOW TO LOVE
In 1 Corinthians 13:13, in the Bible, it tells us that faith, hope and love abide in us but the greatest of these is love. God wants His love for us to be an example of how we should love others - unconditionally and sacrificially.
Read this article a few times, each time with a different relationship in mind. Think about your relationship with your spouse, your family, your friends, your neighbors and your Lord, God.
When you love someone, you want to be with them often. You want to communicate with them - in person, on the phone, or writing them and reading their words written to you. Sometimes you will even write love letters or messages to each other. They will be on your mind often throughout each day. You live with anticipation of being with them.
When you love someone, you will enjoy doing things for them. You will want to do things that are pleasing to them. Other people will be able to tell that you love this person by the way you talk about them and the way you treat them. You will want to treat them with honor and respect and not do anything which would be degrading to them. You would not want to hurt them in any way - physically or emotionally.
When you love someone, you would appreciate what they do for you. You would thank them often. You would praise them for who they are, for what they mean to you, and for how they have enhanced your life.
Finally, you would tell them often "I Love You!"
