Psalm 121, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Hebrews 10:24-25, John 15:4-5
Our bible readings today speaks on various types of love. 1 John 4.16 states that God is love and that whoever lives in love lives in God. From God, who is love itself, we get our models of love as human beings. Agape love, the type of love that God extends to human beings provide us with living example of how we should love each other.
We learn how God loves us unconditionally and shows His love in a practical way like giving His son to die for our sins saving us in the process. In our filial love, we should not love only those who are good to us but love people because they are created in the image and likeness of God.

In Ecclesiastes 4.9-12, eros love is celebrated in a poetry that show how love partners can support each other for example if one falls down, the other will raise him/her, that the two will keep each other warm and that incase the two are attacked, they would combine their efforts to overpower the enemy. So we are called to practice the agape, filial and eros love. In Hebrews 10.24f, we are encouraged to spur each other to works of love as we spread love throughout the world
