In your understanding, what is love?

Love can be defined as a strong feeling of affection, attraction and strong connections we have for another person. It can be romantic, spiritual and platonic in nature. Love is the kind of feelings we have for another person that sometimes can not be explained. While love is missing in the society, in the families and even in schools, love do exist and I do believe in true love. Love is that 4 letter words that give life a very sweet meaning. Love is patient, love is enduring, love forgives, love Don't lie, love understand , love does not boast and love listens.

Sometimes love can make us feel a range of emotions, from joy, peace, laughter to sadness, pain and sadness. Even though love is a beautiful thing, it's also a misery. There are pains that love has caused me and there are happiness that love has caused me too. Love is a feeling that make you want to be more close with someone. Spend time with them and want to be always there to support them. There are so many meanings to love, but it's something everyone should experience.

Love your neighbor as yourself should it be when your neighbor is wicked to you? Yes/No Tell us more

John 3:16
For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. While we were sinners Christ died for us, that is the real love everyone should practice. Imagine someone else paying for your sins, is that not the biggest kind of love we ought to show one another? It may be difficult to love someone who has treated us badly, but we should remember that love is not just about personal feelings, it is not personal at all, but it is about treating others with kindness, compassion and respect.

Also, Mathew 22:29
Love your neighbor as yourself. We should learn to always treat each other with love and kindness, even if the people don't treat us the same way. Also loving your neighbor doesn't mean you should tolerate abuse, or become stupid for them, it's simply means you should find a way to always treat each other with respect even though they don't do the same for you. Always approach every situation with love and that's what set you aside and make you a better person.

You may not be able to change how they treat you, but you can choose to be a leading example of good in this world. I can remember everything they did to my mum, when we lost our dad, but today she acts like things like that never happened. She still show them the same love as she always does when my dad's was alive. Love supercede all thing. Love supercede hatred, jealousy, envy, wickedness, and all things. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

Share a story of your love experience.

I met my husband to be on Facebook, he has never forgotten my birthday, since 2018, he always send me birthday wishes which i don't reply to, I only read it and leave it unreplied to and 2022 I saw his birthday wishes again and I decided to be at least nice to reply. I apologized for ignoring him and we started talking. I was selling semi processed food, as at when i met him and he said he was going to ask his friends that need those and I will send it to them through DHL to abroad.

While I was happy that my business was going international, I was catching feelings too😛 we dropped business aside and we began to talk more often, he brought the business talk up to get my attention and he got it. We exchanged number and then he told me he wanted more than just been friends with me. He was giving all the vibes I want in my kind of man but you know, women we don't need to show it. The way he speaks, the way he writes and how he correctly uses punctuation mark turns me on😂.

Well, long story short, he came down to nija to see me and he said he likes what he saw and his parents visited mine after dating him for 1year. And my parents accepted and my siblings like him too. And his only sister always pampering me too. Now we are getting marrying soon, soon like in two months times. He has been everything I prayed for. I would say he is my answered prayer. Although he is not perfect, but he is my perfect man. He is so intentional about me. Very humble man. I bless the day and met him and I'm looking forward to the good memories we have ahead to share.

Love bears all things, believe all things, hope all things, love never ends... Is this true? Explain.

Yes
1 Corinthians 13:7-8
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." This verse is talking about the characteristics of love, and it's saying that true love is patient and kind, and doesn't give up on others. it is in sickness and in health. You don't leave your partner when things go sour. The sweet parts of love is not just in good times but also in bad times. True love is a powerful force that can endure any hardship or challenge.

One of the things to hold very firm from this verse is that love requires action. It's not enough to just have feelings of love, but it's important to show that love through our actions. Love most at times is more felt when it comes through actions. Buy yourselves gift, take each other out on dates. Buy movie ticket for each other. It also mean that we should be patient with one another, forgiving each other and showing compassion. We should be faithful and committed, even when times are difficult.

What do you think about sharing love just once in a year?

Personally I would say love should be shared in all year round. Love is something that should be shared everyday both in words and in actions. Love is an all year round endeavor.
Days such as valentine are also meaningful events to share love to one another but that doesn't mean it is the only special time to celebrate love. Like my partner always say, everyday is our valentine and I believe that with him. We show love to one another everyday and nothing is too special on valentine's day. So let's not limit love to just a once in a year event.

In conclusion
Love is the greatest gift of all, so let's make the most of it and spread it far and wide to everyone. Happy Valentine's day
