Love so strong, affection rising out of kinship or personal ties.

A love given freely with no expectation of receiving anything in return.

Affection based on admiration, benevolence or common interests.

Pure love.

This is the love our creator has given to us; we have only to share it to watch it grow.

By loving one another, we return the love given by God to and we thus return it to our creator.

By sharing our faith with others we help others and ourselves grow stronger in the faith.

We ask nothing in return for we know all we need for eternity is ours to keep.

We forgive those who say evil of us.  We pray for those who do not know this love.

We do none of these things to earn a place in God’s Kingdom for it has been set aside for us already.

We do these things because God first loved us.
