COLORFUL HEARTS: The many facets of LOVE

English has but one word for love: "love". Yet love is multi- dimensional. The New Testament of the Bible is written in Greek which has four words for love: Eros - romantic love, Filios (Phileo) - love of friends, Storge (STOR-jay) - family love: between parents & children as well as between siblings, and Agape - unselfish love: love in action that cares for and about others. Agape is the word for love most used in the New Testament. "Agape" your neighbor is to take actions to care about even those you may not personally know. It is radical: Jesus said, "Love your enemies, do good to those who persecute you." So to "Agape" your enemies is to take actions that care about them! In this photo are several hearts that embody these multifaceted kinds and ways of love. Including love of and from animals, for the gift of life itself, and always The Cornerstone: God who IS LOVE.
