Elusiveness of Love

Because Valentine's Day just passed, perhaps a brief commentary on love is in order.  But first, what is love?  There are probably as many descriptions of what love is as there are people.  There's perhaps hundreds of words that can be used to describe it.  And, most likely, the elusiveness of having a short, clearly descriptive statement of what love is, is likely cause for arguments and discussions for years to come.  Perhaps what love is,  is simply one of those known unknowns we run into every once in a while,  Maybe the description of love is just one of those elusive butterflies of life.  In fact, maybe love itself is elusive....particularly if we've got it all wrong.

In spite of all of the above, what if you found out love could be summed up in one, yes one, word....and that that one word would leave no doubt at all about what true, real love is?  Do you say that's impossible?  Peanuts had it right:


Bottom Line Thought:  If we lived our lives following the example of Jesus Christ, we would never have to stumble for words to describe love.  Our actions would show the true meaning of it.
