What is love?

What is love?
Love is the antonym of selfishness. Love is going the extra mile for someone even when they've done nothing but hurt or harm you. Love is not only putting up with someone, but valuing them for who God made them. Love is caring about details the other person cares about. Love is total selflessness in the eye of a selfish world. Love is compassion working itself out in actions. Love is protecting the weak, and even sometimes the strong. Love is trusting, even when it hurts. Love is giving of yourself to raise another up. Love is the heartbeat of God working itself through our souls, minds, and hands. Love is the power that all things live on. Love is the overwhelming emotion of forgiveness, acceptance, peace, and gentleness. Love doesn't fade with age, nor does it die with the body. Love does not weaken in the face of adversity, rather it grows stronger, blooming ever more with each breath. Love is the verb that heals hearts, binds up wounds, restores souls, and builds up the beaten down. Love is the force that breaks down walls. Love is the flame that melts stone hearts. Love doesn't have anything to do with boasting, being rude or proud, thinking better of oneself, or complaining. Love asks everything of oneself without expecting anything in return. Love never, ever fails. What is love? Love is God Himself in motion.
