You love your best friend, your mom, playing soccer, maybe you love going to the beach or maybe you love pizza or noodles for your favorite snack.  All of that could be true – we can love a lot of people, things or places, but it doesn’t always mean the same thing. 

If you love pizza it's because you enjoy it, how it makes you feel – and it fills you up.  You love it for what it gives you.

​

Sometimes we love people for the same reason – because of what they can give us, or how they make us feel – but is that true love?  And what even is true love? Where can you find it – where does it come from?

​

We can look a lot of places, and try to love in a lot of different ways, but the best way to find true love is to go the source, the original, the first love.

God’s Word tells us that he is love and he is truth – God’s love is True Love.

 

Well that was easy! 

​

But is it?

 

God tells us and shows us that his love is patient, kind, free, and for everyone without condition, and it’s sacrifice – God loves with what he can give, not for what he can get.  Do you love your friends, or family, like you love pizza or noodles – for what they give you, and how they make you feel?  Or is love something you give, expecting nothing in return?
