“Love is a beautiful thing,” they say, and I wholeheartedly agree. But love is more than just sharing a moment, exchanging gifts, or saying the words, “I love you.”
Love is a sacrifice – one that sees beyond the good and endures even in the face of evil, especially when we are offended. True love is not just an emotion; it is a commitment, an unwavering decision to forgive, to stand by, and to cherish another despite their flaws.
When a couple says, “I do, till death do us part,” they are making a lifelong commitment – a promise that no matter what life brings, they will remain together. Love means standing side by side, fighting for each other, and weathering every storm together.
“Greater love has no one than this:
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John 15:13
Love is togetherness. Love is oneness. It is seeing another as yourself and trusting that they will do right, even when circumstances test that trust.
When Jesus came into the world, it was because of love. Despite the hate, He loved us. Despite the rejection, He cared for us. Love is most powerful when expressed at the right time, but it is never too late to be shared.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
What could be more beautiful than this? That we, too, should love one another with such selflessness, laying down our lives—not just in death, but in daily sacrifices – for those around us.
Today, I remind you: Love your neighbour as yourself. Love one another with all that you are. The love of Christ surpasses all; it covers all and expresses all—both the good and the difficult.
“What manner of love the Father has given unto us,
that we should be called children of God!”
1 John 3:1
Express this love. Live it. Let love define you.
Love is more than words – it’s action. Take a moment today to express love to someone, whether through a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or a moment of forgiveness. Reflect on Christ’s love and let it inspire you to love others selflessly.
Ask yourself: Who needs my love today? Then, go and show it.
