When approached with this question, I always find myself stumbling to find the right answer. Then, I remember my poster in my old Vancouver bedroom. I've never been a religious person, but that doesn't mean I don't reflect on the teachings of the different "teachers". So, this one seemed to answer the question quite well - for me anyway...
"What is love?"
1 Corinthians 13:4-7Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
What is love for you?
