Ruminations of the heart (part 1?)

What is love?
Is it simply patent, kind, and wholly good and high as the good book claims?
Surely it is the balm for offence, and the tune that is hummed when kindness and goodness follow, yet is it not more, and not just the flippant excuse that justifies unbridled avarice in the minds of the weak or evil.

I would submit that love is truly what has, can and will save us, that it compels us to reach beyond selfishness, even if only for a moment, I submit that true love is the most wonderful thing, the most valuable treasure given us by God, that love burns away all that makes us weak and love ignites the fuel of our hearts, so that we may burn as a light, be it for a blinding moment, or a softly glowing era, love is what allows us the strength to be who we are, and to become who we will be.
