A different picture of love

All of us have heard something about what love is.  Those of us who attend some meeting of the church or gone to a wedding has probably heard something from 1 Corinthians 13 (called the love chapter).  How ever also in the Bible are these verses:

 Rom 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Rom 13:8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor hasfulfilled the law.
Gal 5:14 For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”
Jam 2:8 But if you fulfill the royal law as expressed in this scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
If these verses are true and I believe that they are, then love will act like this:


If a person loves their family then if possible, they will take one day of the week and use it for rest and family time.

A person will appreciate their parents for what they have gone through and not go around blaming them for  the misfortunes that have been inherited.

If one loves the people around them they will not murder them by thought, word, or action.  They will also not have an affair (by thought, word or action) with a person's spouse if you love both of them.
One will not spread lies about someone they love.One will not even want the possessions of people that they love.

Just a thought.
