Freely you have recieved freely give. This is True Love not an emotion but much more. "~~ Love ~~ In our modern Western culture, love is an abstract thought of emotion, how one feels toward another, but the Hebrew word bha ahav [H:157] goes much deeper than simple emotion. The parent root of this word is bh hav. While this root is not found in the Biblical text, a couple of other derivatives are. The word bhbh havhav [H:1890] , a noun meaning “gift” and bhy yahav [H:3051] , a verb meaning “to provide,” help to supply the fuller Hebraic understanding of bha ahav [H:157] . We do not choose our parents or siblings, but they are instead given to us as a gift from above, a privileged gift. Even in the Ancient Hebrew culture, one’s wife was chosen for him. It is our responsibility to provide and protect those privileged gifts. As a verb, the Hebrew word bha ahav [H:157] means “to provide and protect what is given as a privileged gift.” We are to love God, neighbors, and family, not in an emotional sense, but in the sense of our actions.
