loving one another

I got the following message below from the SFC Sercretariat and I liked it enough to include it in my blog.

"Love never fails" (I Corinthians 13:8).

We all have people in our lives that are difficult at times. Maybe it's someone you work with, a family member or even your spouse. Relationships can be complicated, but remember: love never fails. The Word of God clearly defines love in 1 Corinthians 13. It says that love is patient and kind. It doesn't seek its own way. Love doesn't keep a record of wrongs. And most importantly, love never fails. Notice that this chapter doesn't talk at all about how you feel. God's love isn't about feelings. It's a choice. You can choose to be patient, even when you don't feel like being patient. You can choose to be kind, even when you don't feel like being kind. No matter what situation you find yourself in, you can choose love. You are never more like God than when you are walking in love. And when you are walking in love, you will never fail because love never fails. Open your heart to God's love today. Ask Him to show you how to love others better. As you walk in love, you'll find peace and live in victory all the days of your life!

Last night, I attended Teaching Night and the topic was "Loving One Another." Tita Elaine, the speaker, stated that feelings are temporary and that love should not be based on them. More so, relationships should not be based on feelings. I agree. If we based our relationships on feelings then the moment the feeling is gone, the relationship will be a disaster. She also told us that we should love everyone, not only our brothers and sisters but also the ones who annoys us most. It could be our boss, our colleague, or it could be someone in the community. I could not think of anyone that annoys me so much that I couldn't love. But still, I'm not off the hook yet. I have yet to show more love to the people around me. This is one step towards living a Christian life.

I had silently wished that this talk was done last month. Because maybe, just maybe, it could have saved a relationship or two. =(

P.S.
I really admire Tito Dick and Tita Elaine. I want to have a relationship just like theirs. =)
