thoughts on love

What's the best definition of love? The word has become so distorted in our North American culture. I can love ice cream, my cat and my mother all in the same breath. The funny thing is I used to love ice cream as a child and as an adult, I lost my taste for it. I "loved" my cat, but when he pooped on my bed, I kicked him out of the house. I love my mother, but did I ever have to choose to love her, or has that been the easiest thing for me to do since I was an embryo.

What about the love that takes work? What about that one person that you want to love but he is the most irritating, obnoxious, misunderstanding creature God could have created. What then becomes the definition of love?

Check out 1 Corinthians 13 in the bible... you might find the answer there.
