I came across this love story in the MINDEF forums.
It's quite lengthy and saddening and I'm not going to go into the details but get straight to the point of why I'm even talking about it.
There was a part in the story where the guy came across this phrase...
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged."
It was not mentioned that it was a Bible verse. Anyway, when the guy came across the phrase he began to think about how he had treated the girl and he realized that it was totally far off from the verse (1 Corinthians 13:4-5). He also began to think to himself that he had taken the girl for granted. He began to see everything that she did as fitting to the verse.
Actually, when I look at this verse I realize that there's no way any human being can love in a the way the verse describes love. Human love may fulfill most of the requirements but only God's love can really meet every criteria of the verse and meet it every moment and every minute of everyday.
It's when we let God love us that love that is of Him, the love that is mentioned in the verse above can flow out through us. And that totally takes the burden out of us because if we were to try to love "perfectly" like that , we would be drained immediately because there's no human way anyone can ever love perfectly.
The good part is coming up. That love of God that same perfect love of God the love that gives without taking is loving you every moment and every minute of everyday. Believe it!

Well, G.G. let me tell you, the world revolves around November 12. My O.R.D. date!
