WHAT IS LOVE. PART 1

Critically, many prove to be in love or 'fall in' and 'fall out' of love but does anyone know the real indented meaning of love?!
I can tell you that 98% of the worlds population doesn't know the meaning
Now what is love?
Some would say love is a feeling!
Get me straight and clear, LOVE IS NOT A FEELING, you know why? Simply because you can't command an emotion! I can't command you to feel good or feel a certain way about someone!
Get it clear now, IF LOVE WAS A FEELING GOD WOULDN'T HAVE COMMANDED YOU TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF!
More so, God couldn't have commanded 'husband love your wife' and 'wives respect and love your husbands' if it was a FEELING!
For instance
Look here, your mother mother can say 'Ade', go to school today, you're going to enjoy it! See, she can make you go to school but she can't make you enjoy it! That's an emotion, YOU can't command IT!
So, love can result to an EMOTION but basically it is not an EMOTION.
Here is where it is so critical, most of you reading this NOW might have been saying love has been your greatest motivation and one of the things that kept you going BUT yet YOU can't define it. 
Do you know how crazy that is? Simply ask these questions and answer to yourself, if you can't define it then how do you know you're in love? If you can't define it then how do you know you are being loved? If YOU can't define it how do you know you're in a loving intimate relationship? You can't.
 And that's one of the biggest problems! Now I want to define love for you- I didn't come up with it o! I'm not that smart, BUT bro paul from the bible did!
Of all the places in the bible, as far as I know, there is only one place that defines love, not 1corinthians 13, NO. 1 corinthians 13 shows what love does not what love is, love is patient
Love is kind..... And so on. It shows what love does not what love is. 

So, what is love! 
Of all places, ephesians chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 
It says: so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29: for no man ever yet hated his own flesh but NOURISHETH and CHERISHETH it, even as the lord to the church!
Remember, love your neighbour as yourself, not love YOURSELF as you NEIGHBOUR!
So LOVE IS TO CHERISH AND NURTURE!
Nourish means to bring forth to maturity!
Cherish means to care for them!
