Love: Daily Word October 2, 2010

Now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is Love.

1-Corinthians 13:30

When Jesus spoke of Love, he used the following four words translated from Greek. Can you guess which one he used most often?

1. storge is Familial Love
2. philia is the Love for a Friend
3. eros is Sensual Love
4. agape is God's Love - the highest form of Love of all!

The word Jesus used most often was agape. No surprise there! Here's my edited take on today's Word.

My life is a refection of the Love of God.

God's Love is my foundation, the source from which I draw my strength, and the power that enables me to live in the awareness of God's presence. I'm blessed to have experienced so many types of Love, but it is agape that gives each Love experience, meaning and substance. 

When I pray for others, I express agape. When I rest in God's presence, I experience agape. God's Love empowers and completes me. Peace.
