“What is Love?” Spoken Word

I wrote this spoken word for my drama team at church, I would love to know what y'all think of it.

What is love?

We use that word on a daily basis. But when it comes down to it do we really understand its meaning?

For the Bible says, “If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all of His mysteries and making everything plain as day,

And if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing.

If I give all I own to the poor or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've got nowhere.”

So, no matter what I say, no matter what I believe, no matter what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

But no matter the price, we should all live in love the way it was meant to be lived.

Love never gives up.

It cares more for others, than it does for itself.

Love does not what it doesn’t have, and it doesn’t boast in what it does.

Love doesn’t strut, and it doesn’t have a swollen head.

Love doesn’t force itself on others, and it isn’t always “me first”.

Love doesn’t fly off the handle, and it doesn’t keep score of the sins of others.

Love doesn’t delight in evil, but it does rejoice in the pleasure of truth,

Love puts up with anything, and trusts God always.

It always looks for the best, and never looks back, but keeps going to the end.

Love is a sacrifice. It bought our freedom through Jesus.

Love is not blind.

We, as mere humans, don't yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing Him directly just as He knows us!

But for right now, until that day, we have three things to lead us on: faith, hope, and love. We need to aways remember, that above all, the greatest of these things is love.
