If you speak a foreign language, you may have noticed that there are commonly more than one word for love. It is likewise in Greek-there are four different words for love, each differing in meaning.
Agape- charitable & serviceable love
Phillia- friendship or brotherly love
Eros- love between man and woman
Storge- the kind of love God has for his children-life sacrificing love
Which love do you want to see between you and your spouse? Now remember- You can't just love a person, you need to like them too.
Marianne Williamson
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
