It's not a feeling. It's a choice and it's ultimately sacrifice. And it's perfectly demonstrated on the Cross that Jesus Christ bled on for us to redeem our wretched mankind from darkness into His new light.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
â 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
