1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Love has repercussions! When you do love someone, you will show that love through the actions you do toward and for that person; not the other ways round!
We could do all sorts of things to try and show our love, but the true actions which come from the heart will always to on show for everyone to see.
God did not have to do things to prove His love for us. He chose to do things so we could benefit from the things He did. He showed His love for the whole world to see!
