"Love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love..." - Erich Fromm
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
"Love is grace standing on justice." - B.J.E. May
My most favourite description of love to date is this:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 THAT, my friends, is LOVE in its TRUEST, PUREST form.
