For if we love God more, we will love others with a true love. The love of God.\u201c Quote Author: Pat Aman <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible explains love in &#8211; 1 Corinthians 13: 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;  5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God showed His greatest love towards us by giving His Son Jesus to die for our sins.- John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the song, \u201cThe Rose\u201d<br>\nIt was written by Los Angeles singer\/songwriter Amanda McBroom. Bette Midler recorded it for the 1980 movie of the same name, which she starred in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The songs tells us never to give up. Even in times we feel no love.
