W.S. Gilbert said it:

Love that no wrong can cure,
Love that is ever new,
That is the love that's pure,
That is the love that's true.
Love that will aye endure,
Though the rewards be few,
That is the love that's pure,
That is the love, the love that's true.

--Gilbert & Sullivan, "Patience" (1881)

Have you found your true love?Do you believe in true love?Share your thoughts on true love.

Yes ... found it in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 13

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never fails. God is love.

As far as us humans go ... we are incapable of true love ... that is why we must forgive one another as "our love" will fail at times. So be strong in the Lord and find someone who is also strong in the Lord as well as that is the foundation for the best relationship we can have with one another.

May the Lord send you a loving man who walks with Him. Amen.

God Bless.

I do believe true love exists, but it's not always easy to find. True, genuine love to me is not self-seeking, but is giving, unconditional, patient and keeps no record of wrongs. Love like that comes from God Himself, and I do believe that only someone who has a close walk with the Lord has such a love to offer.

The only true love comes from God. The closer that I get to God the more that I see my failure to love God as I should. Thus, I spend hours each day in communion with God in hopes that his Spirit, which lives within, can lead me to love as we are called.

As for my wife, God has blessed me with a woman perfect for me. I love her more than myself and respect her right to be who she is and not what my idea may be. We each enjoy being together but don't enjoy the same things all of the time. So, we each do those things individually.

It's worked for 30 years and gets better all the time.

There are 4 different words for “love” in the Greek New Testament, and 3 in the Hebrew OT. They all have different meanings.

Which “True Love” are we talking about?
