Sharing God's Love

First we have to define love.
What is love?
-" An affectionate concern for the well-being of others"
-"A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection"
-"Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, and trusting them not to."
-"We think about it, sing about it, dream about it,lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it; we search for it; when we discover it; we don't know what to do with it; when we have it; we fear losing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we can't predict which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without."

But this is how God defines it:

Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over another's sins, but delights in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is not limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance. In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of them all is love.
1 Corinthians 13
 
Now keep that in the back of your mind.
 
So there is this program called the 3rd project.
It's where you put God first.
Everyone else second.
And you third.
 
So we need to worhip God.
Have a deep and intimate relationship with him.
And we also need to share his love with everyone else.
We need show compassion.
 
It's a very simple concept, but so much deeper if you take the time to think about it.
And even truly feel the meaning of it.
Of taking God's love he gives to you and sharing it with others.
It's truly amazing.
