❤, how true it is?

Talking bout love, the very first thing most of us will ask is "真的吗?" (translate: Really?)
A kinda question that makes u speechless to answer and at the same time a good question... However most of us will end up answering "Dunno, ask him/her la!"

Love is supposed to be pure... 100%.. erm... like a fresh juice! ;-) No preservative, no extra sugar, no extra this no extra that..

Really? How true can this be? When there are like so many types of love in this world? Parents, friends, couples, siblings, strangers... we even have puppy love! :P Is there truly a love that is pure?

The answer is.... yes, there is.. despite the increasing rate of ppl cursing each other.. break ups.. quarrels.. vengeance... hatred... there is still one love that remains unchanged.. wait wait.. why is all these bad stuffs happening when there is pure love? the answer, simple.. because pure love has yet to be experienced and discovered...fully!

but how?

1. Let me tell u a story.. daddy says he will give u a new laptop if u score straight A+... BUT if u miss one A+ and get an A instead, ur laptop becomes an external hard disk... :P
Another one, u have all kinds of friends in ur class... the good looking ones, u make them ur best buddies.. the not as good ones, u isolated them...
This is conditional love.. pure love is UNCONDITIONAL!!! U dun love someone bcos of what they have or what they do.. get it? :)

2. I love you.. I love you so much im scared to offend you because we share different opinions.. im scared to correct you when needed.. And since when love gives birth to fear? Love requires actions! If u love and talk n talk n talk only.. its only SURFACE love... If u love someone, u will want to give the best to them... Jesus once said, "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them"(Luke 6:32) What He is trying to point out is that love, in various kinds and degrees, are not always rightly founded... If u love someone... do the right thing!

3. 1Cor 13:13 Three things will last forever--faith, hope and love--and the greatest of these is love
Now these three things comes together... thats y God makes them last forever... Why is love the greatest? because if you truly love someone, you have faith in them.. and if you believe in your love, you have hope!

The Bible tells us...

Love is the unconditional love when God sent His Son to die for our sins (John 3:16)... Faith is the total believe, trust and confidence in God which comes through hearing the Word of God and without it, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:1, Rom 10:17, Hebrews 11:6).. Hope is the attaining of eternal life through Jesus and His victory over death through His resurrection (1Pet 1:3)..

Do you understand now?

Pure love comes from God.. God Himself is love! (1John 4:8) That is why it is written "We love because He first loved us"! (1John 4:19)

Just as God has loved you, use this very love to love others...

1Cor 13:4-8

Love 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.

This is pure love!
