A movement for our generation to show the love of Christ through our actions everyday.
Ephesians 5:2
and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
The word of God says this about Love:
1 John 3:18
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 Corinthians 16:14
Do everything in love.
Galatians 5:6
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
1 Corinthians 13:3-8, 13
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.
But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
(The Message)

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Philippians 2:1-3
If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 3:12
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
1 John 3:11
This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
The bible is God's love story to man
Theses are only a few examples of God love!
His love is written throughout. The first half of the bible is God giving His people commandments so that they may be good enough for him, and the second half is God's ultimate love giving his Son to pay for our sin.
Isaiah 43 starts by saying But now, this is what the LORD says—
Verses 4 and 5 say this:
Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you...Do not be afraid for I am with you.
The NIV translation of the bible uses the word love 697 times!
God loves us so much, that's why he created us to lavish His love on us. He didn't need us He wanted us. He sent His Son to die for our mistakes, He continues His invitation of love every second of every hour of every day of every year.
Live Love is a simple concept, to be the generation that glorifies God through our actions of love to our fellow human beings.
Remember these scripture verses, Remember the cross, Remember God's desire to love us, and then Remember to Live Love.
Start the movement.
P.S. Boy will either be referred to as apple (don't ask), or as man. He has been upgraded from boy. I'm pretty proud of him :)!
