When people say "love", they think of it as grandiose. Also, usually
It reminds me of Lang's emotional side. But the essence of Christian love is
It refers to specific actions, not emotions. no love among us
There is no one person.

Sending a smile once, that is love.
Rejoice and celebrate when good things happen to others
Thing is, that's love. If there is a new resident in the neighborhood, "Ah
, Congratulations. I hope you live happily in a nice house."
You can say congratulations. When your cousin buys the land, your stomach hurts
There is a saying that it is love, but that is not love. Jealousy in love
there is none.
When I have something better than someone else, someone else's spirit
It is also love to put up with something you want to brag about in consideration of.
Love is not something only Jesus can do. anyone can love
There is. Love is ordinary. Love is easy and simple
All.
Being polite to others is love. so we have one day
You can express your love dozens of times. every time you meet someone

<> Perfection of love (verses 9-12)
==================================
Just because you get older doesn't mean you become more mature. 15 years old
Even a teenager is a mature person if there is love, and he is a 70-year-old grandfather.
Without love, you are immature. The day we will be mature and whole
when is this When you put love into action in small things, you mature in it

<> The greatness of love (verse 13)
============================
The three things you must have in life are faith, hope,
Love.
Faith is the heart that trusts in God, and it is the power that comes from it.
With this faith, we can achieve great things on this earth.
And you can be a great person. anything with God
We Christians need a strong belief that we can do it. That
However, there is a day when faith becomes a reality, then faith will no longer be necessary.
All.
At the same time, there must be hope. Only then can you live. whenever
must be future-oriented. No matter how difficult the environment
Even though our God is the Lord of our lives, we can create the future
Dabo needs a hopeful attitude. And yet there is no need for hope
The time comes. The time has come when things we hoped for and hoped for will come true
But then you don't need hope.
But love is forever. Love is needed anytime, anywhere.
So, faith and hope are important, but the greatest thing is love.
