What is Love? by Isamar, Student
I show love for others through friendship, generosity, service, compassion, respect, and sincerity. Love for others can be shown in friendship through getting to know that person better. Love for others can be shown in generosity and service because being generous means to give up anything such as your time, money, or even your life. Respect shows that you listen and pay attention to that person. Sincerity shows that you care about someone no matter what they are going through.
I show love for myself by having temperance, moderation, work, attitude, self-confidence, perseverance, and purpose. Temperance shows that I have control over things I use that might hurt my body in some way. Perseverance shows that no matter what gets in my way, I will do what I promised to do. Lastly, purpose shows that I have a reason to be living on earth and I have to find it.
I show love for God through faith, hope, and charity. These three are the theological virtues which were made to love, respect, and honor God. Faith shows that you believe God. Hope shows that you always know that He will come through for you. Finally, Charity shows that you’re giving and caring towards others and that you love God. It means that you would give up things such as money and time. Love for God is very important if you want to get to heaven.
