love is a poor mans food.

its a beautiful idea, really.

it's beginning to get to me.

AGAPE (ah-gap-aye)
meaning God's love for people.
as in John 3:16 For God so loved the world He gave His only son.

Agape is a particular kind of love. Love is often seen as a need, something we get from others. Agape is the opposite. Agape gives.

agape doesn't love somebody because they're worthy.
agape makes them worthy by the strength and power of its love.
agape doesn't love somebody because they're beautiful.
agape loves in such a way that it makes them beautiful.

There is a love because, love in order to, love for the purpose of, and then there is love, period. Agape doesn't need a reason.
