Love is more than...
a feeling,
an expression through actions and gifts,
an emotional high with butterflies in stomach,
a nudging miss-you in the mind,
a quick thump of your heart when you see the person,
a nervousness of dressing up to look one's best,
a companionship...

No.

Love is also...
encouraging the other person,
being there,
listening,
doing things for the good of the other and others,
sharing and doing common interests,
striving towards the same goals,
comforting the other person when he/she is down,
staying by him/her when the ugly side shows
bearing all faults and shortcomings
willing to correct and be corrected...

Love is also...
patient (never gives up)
kind (cares more for others than for self)
not envious (doesn't want what it doesn't have)
not boastful (doesn't strut)
not proud (doesn't have a swelled head)
not rude (doesn't force itself on others)
not self-seeking (isn't always "me first")
not easily angered (doesn't fly off the handle)
not keeping records of wrong (doesn't keep score of the sins of others)
not delighting in evil (doesn't revel when others grovel)
rejoicing with the truth (takes pleasure in the flowering of truth)
always protecting (puts up with anything)
always trusting (trusts God always)
always hoping (always looks for the best)
always persevering (never looks back but keeps going to the end)
never fails (never dies)
