Love is patient, love is kind. 

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

{1 Corinthians 13 NIV}

Quite hard isn't it? When we say 'I love you' to anyone we care about, whether it's the boyfriend/girlfriend, mother/father, husband/wife, to siblings, or others, the word Love seems so easy to be said and done. By human dictionary Love is defined as "An intense feeling of deep affection" (new oxford american dictionary). That's why when we care and have an affection or if we adored someone so deeply we would consider it as Love... But oh how we have forgotten the real definition of Love, written by God himself through his apostle Paul. We also know that God is Love (1 John 4:8 NIV), if we want a proof of that, try cross-checking with what he has done with the passage up there. I'm sure he'll amazingly ticked off each one of them, and that is Love. As a human, it sounds so impossible for me to have such love. We're just too used to with the basic dictionary meaning, but never really understand when we love someone, we actually should do such things listed up there are, without feeling burdened. (Uh oh :p)... Oh wow.. I must admit it's very hard, yes very very hard to really apply each attempt to how I love. Nevertheless.. Hard is not the synonym of impossible right? (I've checked it, definitely not in the thesaurus of 'Hard' HAHAHA)
So there you go people, read, consider, and apply, slowly but surely. I'm on my way to do them as well *wink*. And uhmm God, I'm sure you're watching me as I type this down, so, help me out *wide grin*.

Loves? Well, *hugs* ;)
