09:48 - love is actually all around?
yeap u guessed it! just caught this feel good movie - love actually

is love really all around? well if you look hard enough i guess you'd find love.

what kind of love? recently heard this sermon that talked about 2 kinds of love - feelio and agape. both are greek words though im not sure about the spelling of feelio

God's love is agape...

ok i went to do some research on the internet and i found some interesting new facts.

God's Love in the ancient Greek language is "agape." Actually, there are three words for Love in Greek: agape, eros and phileo. Eros is physical desire. It is where we derive the English word erotic. Phileo is to regard with affection. Both words are common in classical Greek literature. However, agape was not introduced as a word until the 1st century AD in the writings of the New Testament. Since there was no word to describe the complexity of God's Love in the Greek, Paul, in his various epistles, coined the term "agape." Agape means "Divine Love". In the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul both introduces agape and gives its clear definition.

hmm. ok so agape was a term coined by Paul.

here's something that i thought is very true.

God's Love - Mankind
When translating the Greek into English, the King James translators upon coming to agape, God's Love, often chose the English word "charity." This was meant to reinforce the idea of agape being a selfless, giving love. God's Love is unselfish. It is generous, kind, peaceable, trusting, temperate, patient and humble. God's Love is everything good. It consists of pure things that are lacking in the imperfection of mankind. Man seems obsessed with all things that are contrary to agape love -- greed, contention, lust, envy, mistrust and pride. It is this basic reality that separated a God of Love from mankind in the first place. For "God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble" (I Peter 5:5). It is this separation from God that drives mankind to seek God. It is our inherent lack of agape Love that compels us to discover God's Love for ourselves.

seems like there's alot of stuff to be learnt about love?

well something that always struck a chord in my heart is this verse,
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." - 1 John 4:8

so what is love actually? love is God actually! want to know real love? how about knowing the personification of real love? Jesus.
