Is it love?

Does it hurt? Does it feel bad? Do you get that nagging feeling...the "red flag?" Do you "hope that you're wrong?" Well, you're probably not if you even think that...


Love don't feel that badThat's not loveIt don't feel that sadNo that's not love'Cause you don't feel good insideI don't know what it isBut that's not love.  ~ Keb Mo

How can you tell if it's love?

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

New International Version (NIV)

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ⁸ Love never fails.

Love doesn't leave you with a bad feeling. Those who love you will want the best for you. They will not be jealous of you. They will rejoice when you are promoted or lifted up. They will join you in your victories and not stab you in the back. They will help you and not sabotage you. They will not use, abuse or take advantage of you. They will always look out for your best interests. 

If you have to wonder if someone

loves

you, they probably don't.
