Love Is A Gift

In the Bible we are commanded to
love one another. In English we have
one word for love though it can mean
for all types of love.

In Greek  there is at least four different 
types of love. 

Agape  love is what is mentioned  in 
1Corinthians 13. This the kind of love
we are to have for others especially 
those we don't  know  very well or 
acquainted with. Agape love is a choice
sacrifice for others without feelings or
emotions. 

Storge is affection for the type you have
for your family.  It is called casual affection.
It is important  and can be for others outside
your family too.

Eros this is romantic love. This the one you
have for your spouse or girlfriend or boyfriend.

Philia is friendship  love. You became friends 
as children or you bonded over similar interest.

It is so important  we have all four types of
love. Our life purpose is to have love and to
share it especially agape and eros. Storge
is lifetime love and philia will be when it
happens.

❤️❤️❤️
