perfect love..

We don't love people because they are perfect,

we love them in spite that they are not.

~Julia (My Sister's Keeper)~

indeed we should love people in spite that they are not perfect.. but we sometimes we forget that we are not perfect either.. we can't give the people we love, the kind of perfect love that they (including ourselves) are looking for.. only one person can do it.. He gave Himself up to sufferings, humiliations and dying on the cross for our sins.. cos He loves us so perfectly and deeply in spite of who we are and what we did.. He is Jesus Christ.. He is love..

^"4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ⁸Love never fails."

~1 Corinthians 13:4-8~

so how can we love the people we love with our best?

ask God for His love to fill us first and learn from His ways of loving us.. love is both a decision and an action.. =)

^"18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."

~1 John 4:18~

Perfect love drives out all fear..
