What Means Love?

Have you ever asked what means love?  Is simple affection?

Is it more than emotion, passion?  Does it stop at devotion?

If you love someone you find it is a feeling of adoration

It is a kind of appeal, a value of their company and more than fascination.

I may say, for instance when I describe my feelings for my wife

I adore her and respect her and would gladly give my life.

My love for Jesus Christ goes even further though, you see.

For I worship and revere him for the wonderful gift he has given me.

I would give my life to him for he gave his that I might see.

So my love for him is never ending just as his love is for me.

The love I feel for each who reads and the love I feel for wife and children.

All grew from the tiny seed made to grow because of his contribution.

That donation which he gave was the gift of his life given freely

So I might live and love and praise him for eternity.
