the greatest of these

1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

 

People advocate love and peace,

but then are not willing to be understanding when someone's tired,

to reach out to the lonely, and say hello to anyone and everyone.

  

 If someone loves you, give love back to them.

in whatever way you can. not only because they
love you, but because in a way, they are
teaching you to love and how to open your heart
and eyes to everything that's around you.

   

'Our days would be happier

if we gave people a little bit of our hearts,
rather than a piece of our mind'

1 John 3:18

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

 

 I hope that someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight,
and that's all they do. They don't pull away. They don't look at your face.
They don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms,
without an ounce of selfishness in it.
