So here is what all the different facet of Agape love means : AGAPE LOVE 1ST Corinthians 13 1st Corinthians 13: is not referring to God’s agape love in general but to a specific kind of God’s love: God’s agape love towards your fellow men (Romans 14:15, 2 Thessalonians 1:31). A better translation of the word would be to translate it as charity or love towards others. We are told to follow after love (1 Corinthians 14:1). It’s a holy pursuit, an earnest pursuit. 15 powerful points how God’s love towards others behaves: Love suffers long Love is long suffering towards imperfect people. It bears long with them for as long as patience is needed Is kind Tender hearted. And be you kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another (Ephesians 4:32) Envies not It does not turn green with envy when others are being blessed Love vaunts not itself Love does not go around bragging or promoting its own virtues before others Is not puffed up It is not filled with pride, arrogant or haughty Does not behave itself unseemly It is not rude or discourteous or acts ugly. It does not use harsh and brutal language in the way you deal with people. Seeks not her own It is not self-centered but it is sacrificial. It puts the needs of others first. Is not easily provoked It is slow to speak and slow to wrath. Thinks no evil It is not resentful. It takes no account of the evil done to it and pays no attention to a suffered wrong. Love erases resentment. Rejoices not in iniquity Love is not overjoyed when it sees some misfortune happen to someone who deserves it. But rejoice in the truth But it is overjoyed when they are being blessed Bears all things Love protects shields guards covers conceals peoples flaws from exposure Believes all things Love sees the other persons virtues far more than their failures and judges them by their virtues, not by their failures Endures all things Love never quits, never surrenders never gives up in the midst of afflictions trials tribulations Love never fails Human love fails but God’s love towards is steadfast and unchangeable. It does not fail. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the morning when its so cold, I tend to sleep in a little while longer and am late for my appointment with the Lord. Yet He is so faithful. The Lord does preserves the way of the righteous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that: my appointment with God. It is like presenting ourselves before Him every day, moment, minute whatever word works, but a life before Him. Accept all things from His hand and look for and do the right and righteous thing in each and every circumstance and situation. Keeping our eyes on Christ and moving forward. Knowing He does all things well. Be blessed and may God so fill your heart with Himself, your heart would be overwhelmed with His love, Not me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen, From even before I was saved, I use to think that God had saved me to share his love instead of rendering evil for evil, but as I become closer to Him, I learned to love better by His Spirit/inspiration.
