And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. (1 Corinthians 13:13)

In this verse the word charity is a synonym to that of love. Charity and love are the same thing, according to this verse. Often times we consider charity as giving to the poor, performing some sort of community service. Don't get me wrong these are forms of charity/ love, but you can also do these things without love. We take advantage of love.
Paul was writing to the church at Corinth and elaborating that you must have love in all you do. God gives us other attributes such as faith and hope, but without love nothing matters. Paul is explaining that of the three of the great attributes the greatest of these three is love.
The Bible also says that you can worship, clap your hands, shout, speak in tongues, dance, and pray for people and act like an extremely holy person. But, if you do all these things without love in your heart, it is nothing but a bunch of noise to God. All it is, is a big show and an insult to God. It only becomes an insult to God if you have no love in your heart.
I pray that God keeps my heart filled with love and continues to make my love for people grow. As a child of God I want to have a burden for people and be able to reach out to those who need God. I want to be able to help those that need me and at the same time show them that I am doing this out of the love that God has helped me sustain. God loves us, sand he loves everyone. If God can love everyone, doesn't that mean we should find it in our hearts to love each other also. God wants us to be like him, and if God does it then it just requires us to do it so much more.
Remember to love people, you don't have to get alnog with them or especially like being around them or like their ways, but you MUST love them.
