Love. We seek it, we dream of it, and sometimes it breaks our hearts. But what does the Bible really say about it? It doesn't talk about superficial love that we sometimes see in romantic movies, but about the deep, unconditional love that God has for us. And we get to share it with others! The Bible describes love as something that goes beyond words: it's an attitude, a choice.
