A good question, an inspiring answer...

I got asked a very good question last night - How do you know you're in love?
Well, how do you know you're in a situation, unless you know what the situation is?

so... What is love?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails." (1 Corinthians, 13:4-8, The Bible)

Love... it is different to infatuation. infatuation consumes you - Love is a choice. One you make, to be kind, patient, accepting, forgiving, truthful, protecting, trusting, hoping and unfailing toward another person.

When we think that someone is worth the effort of "Agape" love (unconditional love), then we have made the choice.

The choice to have love, to give love, and to be in love.

It's incredible what we can learn from the Bible, isn't it?
