THE LOVE

Many say that the fundamental basis of a society is respect, personally I consider that it
is love that allows respect to be present, that special force that moves mountains, but ...
What is love ?, asks that even a philosopher as Socrates in times before Christ used, this
question was used in the famous method of maieutic because of the complexity that this
question has to be answered, it is curious because in reality there is no exact definition,
they also say that there are several types of love , we certainly do not have the same love
for our husband as for our son, it cannot be the same as the love you feel for your mom
making a friend, they are things that we can easily understand since we have all
experienced them simultaneously in some way but still thus, it is still difficult to explain it.

On the other hand, this is deeper than many imagine, a "I love you" means something
very strong but at present, few know how to appreciate this short phrase that says more
than a thousand words, for our fortune, the bible names hundreds of times to love, but
there is a specific text that can help us identify what it really is.

• 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

4 Love is patient, it is kind. Love is not envious or boastful or proud. 5 He doesn’t behave
rudely, he is not selfish, he doesn’t get angry easily, and he doesn’t hold a grudge. 6 Love
doesn’t delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Everything apologizes, believes
everything, expects everything, endures everything, love never fails.

It is not necessary to emphasize how precious this feeling is after this text, can you
imagine if we put it into practice?

The best of all this is that it brings many benefits, because when you radiate love, the
people around you will want to reward you and your happiness brings happiness, is there
anything better than feeling happy?

STEPS TO HAVE LOVE

FIRST: To begin with, the advice I would give is to have God in your life, for that you must
know it through the bible. As it says in:
• 1 John 4: 7-8

7 Beloved, let us continue to love one another, because love is of God, and everyone who
loves is born of God and acquires the knowledge of God. 8 He who does not love has not
come to know God, because God is love.

SECOND: is to love ourselves, we cannot give something we do not have, it simply would
not be authentic and automatically stop being love, sometimes we confuse love with
emotional attachment, love gives you energy, attachment takes it away, we cannot allow
them to abuse us and we must maintain a balance, for being something so valuable WE
MUST be careful.

THIRD: It is up to us to convert this adjective (love) into a verb; that is, doing daily actions
for the neighbor as Jesus says in the text:

• Matthew 22:39

"You have to love your neighbor as yourself."

Can you now understand why love moves mountains? Thanks to this, there are thousands
of volunteers in the world through foundations fighting for the most needy, thanks to this
there are hundreds of couples who decide to adopt a child that does not belong to their
bloodline with the intention of loving him and giving him a better life that could give in an
orphanage, thanks to this the artists take songs inspired by this feeling of which we
hummed with great joy, among these a host of good things.

Remember that the good are more, the world needs us and the best part is that there is
no specific age, there is no religion, there is no barrier against love, as I said, it depends
entirely on us.

I hope you enjoyed my presentation.
