A Agape or Agape...


a·ga·pe

1.
the love of God or Christ for humankind.
2.
the love of Christians for other persons, corresponding to the love of God for humankind.
3.
unselfish love of one person for another without sexual implications; brotherly love.
4.

love feast (defs. 1, 2)
OR

a·gape



adverb, adjective
1.
with the mouth wide open, as in wonder, surprise, or eagerness: We stood there agape at the splendor.
2.
wide open: his mouth agape.


Now both of these words are spelled exactly the same but hold so such different meanings or do they.. 

I know the agape love word from my background and growing up. I have had my mouth agape and many things that I have seen and experienced.

I have strived to have agape love for the person who cut me off in traffic or toward that person who I am stretched thin in my interactions with.

I have had my mouth agape as I watched my 1 year old stick her tooth brush in the toilet and place it in her mouth all before I was able to reach her.. (yes this happened this AM)
