There is also truly little love being showed from people that are commanded to love EVERYONE, especially their ‘enemies’.

So, what does love look like? Is it “oh you poor thing, did they hurt your feelings? Keep on doing what you are doing, it will all work out.”?

It is important we have a Biblical understanding of love, NOT a worldly understanding.

The only ones that truly loved me were the ones that took the time to correct me and set me on the right path. It didn't look like love at the time but it was the HIGHEST expression of it.

There is a big element of truth in the word love and it offends the world greatly.

>>>>>So, what does love look like?<<<<<<

What comes to my mind is washing the feet of a group of people that you have lived with and showed the power of the Kingdom of God to for 3 years. Included in that group of people that had their feet washed was a man that would hand you over to the authorities for a couple of months worth of wages and another guy that would deny that he even knew you three times bfore the night was through.

That’s what loves looks like. Serving. And yes, correction is part of that, but proper correction requires the corrector have some standing with the one being corrected.

Love is not waiting until the guy is being cast into Hell to decide to tell him the truth.

Love is telling people how they can be freed from the bondage that sin is. And showing them the joy of freedom.
