My favorite word is LOVE. These past couple years that has been my word of the year and I have been focusing on living my life out as a loving person. The reason that its still my word is because I have still not mastered this skill, and I still have a long way to go. Today though I wanted to talk about the significance of the word. It is a very deep word that is often time confused with the word lust. Lust is a strong sexual desire, while love is a incredibly deep affection for someone. In the Bible it says that "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rued, 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. This is the true meaning of love, and we as humans cannot live this out perfectly because we are not God and make mistakes unlike Him. Although we are not perfect, we can still strive to do these things, and to love people in this fashion to the best of our ability.

When you tell someone you love them, make sure that you truly mean it! It is word that carries alot of weight, and should be not used lightly. Also before you tell someone that, make sure you are not getting it mixed up with lust because the two are very different.
