God is Love

 "God so loved the world that he gave." The more we love, the more we give to others. 

Love is not holding a grudge. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love is patient and kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. 

Love is selfless. It is thinking of others above yourself. It is always wanting to serve others and give to others. 

It is good to be wise when you give. Don't give so much to the point that you resent what you give. God loves a cheerful giver. If you can't give what you give cheerfully, then don't give at all. 

Love benefits others. Love looks out for others. Love protects and provides for others if they are in need. Love does not look out only for his own interest, but also the interests of others. 

Love always speaks in a kind manner. Love is calm and gentle. 

The more you love something, the more you value it. You take good care of it. If it is your pet, you feed it as much food as it needs. If it is your children, you watch over them well, and feed them as much food as they need. 

The opposite of love is selfishness. When you want just what you want, and it doesn't matter what others want. That is not love. That is greed. 

Be a loving person. The more loving you are, the more others will respect you and want to be around you, and the better your life will turn out.
