Love is patient and kind, it is
not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish
or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy
with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its
truth, hope and patience never fail (Bible: I Cor 13:4-7).
Qualities of genuine love are
enumerated here. Love is a word often misused. What many call love is
only lust. True love never takes advantage of others. There can be
nothing selfish or evil in love, for love is all about goodness.
�George Kaitholil
Being humble and confident
As we look at the stars and let
our minds wander into the many galaxies, we come to feel so small and
insignificant that anything we do, say or think seems completely
useless. But if we look into our souls and let our minds wander into the
endless galaxies of our interior lives, we become so tall and
significant that everything we do, say or think appears to be of great
importance.
We have to keep looking both
ways to remain humble and confident, humorous and serious, playful and
responsible. Yes, the human being is very small and very tall. It is the
tension between the two that keeps us spiritually awake.
�Henri J.M. Nouwen
Choice
In life, we simply cannot be, do, and have
everything in this big, beautiful world of ours. We need to choose, and
the choice we make will ultimately determine how successful we are in
the eight crucial areas of life: happiness, health, peace, prosperity,
security, friendship, family, and hope. It is up to you to choose the
best and pass up the good. �Zig Ziglar
