What is love?

[Anguspure]

hahaha, yes !?

Little children without even trying !

Puppies without even trying !

Kittens without even trying !

Baby elephants (LOVE PBS OETA Nature shows) automatically !

Baby rhinos (a very BIG surprise ) so affectionate !

This is why its so important that we don't confuse touchy feely emotional love with Agape (which is translated as Love). All of the above are full of touchy feely love until the conditions change and become less favourable to the emotional display. All of the above (and including ourselves) are incapable of Agape apart from the Spirit of Christ.

Little children, puppies, kittens, baby elephants, and baby rhinos have a more simple spontaneous and pure love than adults, more gentle, more 'right'.
JESUS told the disciples , let the children come to ME, and they climbed right up on HIS lap ..... for OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM.

Children are not that way when they are not raised right. Children who are not raised right , even through no fault of their own, often are mean, cruel, heartless, disobedient, and selfish.

It is important that children be conceived in love, nurtured in CHRIST JESUS all during the pregnancy as they develop, and learn the way of CHRIST all their lives, from birth,
but many(most) have no chance to hear nor to know nor to see the way of CHRIST, until sometime later in life --- from followers of JESUS when they finally meet them, from believers born again by the will of the FATHER (GOD) in heaven.....

This was in 1st Corinthians. Something I memorized a long time ago, and writing right now out of memory...

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.

I like puppies and kittens.
