Love is real. It's something that actually exists, and God is the source of it.

Welcome to "Inside The Cup Podcast" with Mike and Holly Walsh
Season 1: "How to Love Your Neighbor as Yourself"
Episode 4: "What Exactly Is Love?"

1 John 4:7 says, “Let us love one another, for love comes from God.” Love is real, and it comes from God.

Mike and Holly take a look at the biblical depiction of "love," reading from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and discuss how it is not our task, as we often think it is, to act like this all of the time. If we are being honest we are not like that, and that's OK, because Paul is describing what "love" is, not what we are. Rather than trying to act lovingly all of the time and then feeling defeated from not being able to do it, our task is to accept this love that comes from God into our being, starting with the innermost parts of our person, and allow this agape love to transform all the dimensions of our being, leaving us a loving person.

Mike and Holly offer a very practical definition of love, where love means: "To choose what is good for the thing you're loving," and give some practical examples of what this might look like in our everyday lives and interactions with others.
