There are many interpretations of love.
• Love is a strong affection or feeling of deep attachment towards someone or something.
• Love is a selfless act of caring and concern for the well-being of another person.
Love is an emotion, subjective, determined by the individual.
[Love] does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. (1 Corinthians 13:5)
Your selfless act of love, helping your neighbor, volunteering, serving in ministry actually benefits your health. These results are documented in numerous medical and psychological case studies. There are documented facts citing lower blood pressure, reduced stress, a boosted immune system, improved sleep…you get the picture. Expressing love, true abiding love, selfless love, whether it be for your family, your community, or people you don’t know improves your health. Love is healing.
Think about how you feel when you receive love. Now think about how you feel when you express selfless love. Let’s start healing together.
