Good morning COL Mikel Burroughs and all the rest of my RP Family. Today’s topic is one that in which much could be written. I am tempted to do that but I will only submit to you an excerpt below, from a very long article written by someone whom I believe to have an excellent view on love. May you receive a rich blessing from it. Have a blessed day today and always.

Love in the Bible: From God's Love to the Most Romantic Scriptures
Love and Forgiveness
It is impossible for people who hate each other to live together in peace. By contrast, love promotes peace because it covers or forgives the faults of others. Love does not hold on to offenses but covers them up by forgiving those who do wrong. The motive for forgiveness is love:
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs. (Proverbs 10:12)
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. (Proverbs 17:9)
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8)
Love Contrasted With Hate
In this curious proverb, a bowl of vegetables represents a simple, common meal, while steak speaks of a luxurious feast. Where love is present, the simplest of foods will do. What value is there in a sumptuous meal if hatred and ill-will are present?
A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate. (Proverbs 15:17)
Love God, Love Others
One of the Pharisees, a lawyer, asked Jesus, "Which is the great commandment in the Law?" Jesus' answer came from Deuteronomy 6:4-5. It can be summed up like this: "Love God with everything you are in every way possible." Then Jesus gave the next greatest commandment, "Love others in the same way you love yourself."
Jesus said to him, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-39)
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:14)
A true friend is supportive, loving at all times. That friend develops further into a brother through adversity, trials, and troubles:
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17)
In some of the most striking verses of the New Testament, we are told the supreme manifestation of love: when a person voluntarily gives up his life for a friend. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice when he laid down his life for us on the cross:
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. (1 John 3:16)
