Hey friend, welcome to another Abundantly More Moment. I’m Hannah Lynn Miller, and today we’re talking about something that’s at the very heart of our faith: love.

You know, when we think about love, we often think of it as a feeling - that warm, fuzzy emotion we get. But here’s the thing: in the Bible, love is so much more than an emotion. It’s an action. It’s a choice. It’s a commitment.

The Greek word “agape” that’s used throughout the New Testament describes this kind of love - it’s unconditional, sacrificial, and active. It’s the love God has for us, and the love He calls us to show others.

Look at John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.” God didn’t just feel love for us - He acted on it. He gave. That’s agape love.

And in 1 Corinthians 13:4, we see what this love looks like in action: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” These are all actions, not feelings.

As a couples therapist, I see this play out all the time. The couples who thrive aren’t the ones who always feel “in love” - they’re the ones who choose to turn toward each other, who ask questions, who serve in small ways every single day. They’re practicing agape love.

So here’s your challenge today: How can you show agape love to someone in your life? Maybe it’s your spouse, your child, a friend, or even a stranger. What’s one small action you can take today to love like Jesus loves?

Remember, 1 Corinthians 13:13 tells us: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

Thanks for joining me for this Abundantly More Moment. I’ll see you next
