I believe the most beautiful thing in this universe is Perfect Love...which only God can do and can provide. But it is when we, mere (imperfect) humans, try our very best to love perfectly fellow imperfect people, is God very pleased...
Someday, I hope to be able to construe love not with good things and feelings that another person can give to me, but instead, of the goodness, care, charity and sacrifice that I can give to another person. To give without asking or expecting anything in return...Loving with no ulterior motives. Loving unconditionally. Loving like Jesus loved. (Being abused is a different matter. A truly loving person does not allow other people to abuse him because in the process, he is not loving his abusers. He is merely tolerating their evil acts, thus letting them grow in evil even more.)
Nope. I’m not just talking about marriage. It’s more than that. It’s the kind of love I would like to share with everyone, no matter how hard it is to love some of them. And they say, it all begins with loving oneself. You cannot give something you do not have.
On my own, this would be impossible. But with God, I could become a saint. I just pray that I will remain humble all my life. I pray that I will always remember that God needs to continue His work in me all my life. I pray that I will be like a fruit that never ripens until God comes to fetch me...because when a fruit ripens, ultimately, it will rot.
