I Thessalonians 3:12 ” May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.”

The Greek word here for love is Agape. It’s not a romantic love, nor a brotherly love, but instead, it’s a sacrificial love that costs someone when they offer it to another. It’s a sacred kind of love that willingly chooses to put its own needs aside for the good of others. Jesus was the epitome of Agape love and the total embodiment of self-sacrifice for others…and as His Followers we are to emulate His example. Agape love isn’t a warm fuzzy feel good love, but rather a determined, servant’s heart kind of love that serves the unlovely.
