16. We have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. He who lives in love abides in God, and God in him.
17. In this way love is perfected for us, that we may have boldness on the day of judgment, just as you are, so are we in the world.
18. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, for fear has a penalty, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
19. We love because he first loved us.
20. Anyone who says I love God and hates his brother is a liar, and he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
21. We have received this commandment from the Lord, and he who loves God must also love his brother.

Title: A story that becomes a song anywhere
Text: Psalm 103:1-8, 1 John 4:16-21,
“He who loves music finds it anytime and anywhere” (Swedish proverb). There is a story that becomes a song anytime, anywhere. It's a love story. This is the story of Deborah Tannon, Ph.D., professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, in her book You Just Don't Understand (You Just Don't Understand). His aunt, who is over 70 years old, has been alone for several years before falling in love. He has grown a lot, has lost some hair, and has arthritis, so his arms and legs are in a state of disrepair, so he was far from the type of woman who could be loved. There were signs that the aunt was being loved by someone. I was in my seventies with my aunt, and I live in a nursing home, but sometimes on weekends, I used to live in my aunt's apartment. It's a story about telling a nephew, who visited him for greetings, what it means to date a new man when he is old.
‘One evening my aunt was having dinner out with her friends and she got a call from her boyfriend who knew about it. When I told the curious boyfriend about a relatively small incident, he was asked this question by the boyfriend who was listening. “What kind of clothes did you wear today?” My aunt hesitated as she said this part, and finally burst into tears. This is what my aunt, who had been weeping, wiped away her tears and asked her nephew. “Do you know how long it has been since someone asked me what clothes to wear?” A woman's happiness can fill her heart like the morning sunlight, even with such a small attention and kind words. The fact that she remembers even personal things about the other person is an indirect expression of interest and affection for the woman.
Sai Baba, an Indian psychiatrist. Life is a song/ Sing it. Life is a game/Enjoy it. Life is a challenge/ Face it. Life is a dream / Make it come true. Life is a sacrifice / pay it. Life is love / Share it. Life can be a song because it contains love. Love stories are different in their content. Just like people have different faces, they are different. It's not necessarily just because it's accomplished that it becomes a song. The stories of unfulfilled love become songs as well as the stories of fulfilled love. Who in life has never experienced the scars of love? Where is love without regret, love without pain? However, in order to achieve harmony, not only broadening your understanding of the other party, but also training in listening is required.
The love story contained in the Bible is no exception. The Bible, also called a 'love letter', depicts two strands of love. This is the covenant of love that began between God and the people of Israel made at Sinai (Exodus 20:1-26). It contains countless wounds and pains. There were not a lot of dissonances in those wounds and pains. However, the echoes of the two love have one thing in common: love nonetheless. This is why we should live singing love. Today's texts of the Old and New Testaments are the content of the song that heaven and earth will sing together. In a way, the pain of national sympathy is also a pain that we should share together someday by broadening our understanding of each other through these songs of love.
