Greatest Love Of All

First of all.
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
All of a sudden, why do i post this verse?
The reason is very simple.
We need to dare to love people. We can't express our love by hiding it away. Today, as i was reading the bible and one book, by John C Maxwell. It teaches me about the perfect example of love that God has shown on the cross, the compassion that God shows to Noah, when the creation of mankind grieves Him.
John 15:12-13
12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Ask ourselves this question. Did God love us by hiding it away? Didn't He express out His love? We can argue that this is how Asian parents show their love to children. My parents use deeds instead of words to love me. Yeah, it is great, we can't say we love but has no action to support it. Many Asian kids take a long time to feel loved by their parents because of their conservative speech. I am not condemning but how great it can be when we can say we love and we have deeds to back it up. Just like how Jesus, has told the disciples that He has loved them, and die on the cross as an action to back it up.
So ultimately, to my belief, the greatest love of all is you say it, and you do it!
