Love is the Greatest Gift of All

I got this Define Love tag from Joni who did this tag about her brother’s wedding day after Frank came to the country. Joni is the creator of my A Long Journey Wordpress theme.

Then I also got the Best Gift Ever tag from Rachel.

I decided then to put these two tags together. Joni asked me to define love and Rachel asked me about my thoughts on the Best Gift Ever story which can be read here.

For Joni:

When I was younger I remember singing “Love is the greatest gift of all, with God’s love in my heart, I can be a shining light, for love is the greatest gift of all.” I wrote here that time is probably one of the greatest gifts we can ever give and that is true. But all in all, love is the greatest gift we can ever give. A whole chapter in the New Testament talks about love and about faith, hope and love. Love is the greatest of all the three. You can read the 1 Corinthians chapter 13 here.

To Rachel:

The lesson of the story in the tag which can be read here also talks about love not just by the father to his son but by our God the Father to us. We may not be able to see and count the blessings He gives us because sometimes we don’t have the time to reflect on His words. If we only do so, we would be able to know how much He loves us.

I am not tagging anyone in particular but feel free to do these tags and give the greatest gift of all to those who will read your post. _______________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you Julie for doing this tag. I appreciate it.

We should really make it a point to reflect and appreciate God’s great blessings in life.

1 Corinthians 13 does explain love in its truest sense. And of course, the perfect display of love is when Jesus Christ died on the cross for us. “There’s no greater love than this than a man would give his life for a friend.”

Thanks, Julie! :)
