Bible Verses About Love
📖 Bible Verses
📜 Meditation
The love the Bible describes is different from the world's love.
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul describes love not as a feeling but as a choice and action. Patient, kind, not self-seeking — this love is impossible by human strength alone, only possible through God's grace.
John 3:16 shows the prototype of this love. God loved us first — enough to give His only Son, enough to endure the cross.
And Romans 8 declares that this love can never be broken. In any situation, through any failure, God's love never changes.
🙏 Prayer
God of love, thank You for loving us first. Help us deeply experience that love and love our neighbors with it. Help us practice patient and kind love. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Jesus said "love your neighbor as yourself," not "more than yourself." Only those who care well for themselves can love neighbors sustainably. One person, one act at a time is enough.
