Love should always brings up the best in people but when selfishness gets the way, we begin to destroy friendship and beautiful relationships. We all make mistakes and consequently hurt others. Sometimes we commit them not knowing that they are wrong but there are times when we just go on doing wrong even if we know its ill consequences. Forgive those who caused you harm and have peace of yourself. Let us all remember if we replace hatred with love and try to understand instead of being bitter, then GOD will heal us and replenish all that we painfully lost. We have to learn the way through trials of life. Give time to ease the troubled heart if we need to be alone in a faraway place. The wound that love scars our heart takes time to heal. I know its hurt to let go of something we cherish so much.

We have to make constant effort to control jealousy. Remember that jealousy in outrageous proportions is a poison that slowly kills love. Trust is important but sincerity and fidelity will be the backbone on which healthy relationships will thrive. Commitment is just the start of a long journey to fulfillment. Love is like a plant that we have to norture and protect everyday. Let us put the LORD to the center of the relationships because only from Him can we draw-out the courage to endure the storms that will come our way and grow in love and happiness, all the days of our lives.

I have learned on my past experiences that there is nothing wrong in feelings strongly for someone. We all fall and get ourselves tangled in the web of emotions that knock us out of our senses and impair our good judgment. Many of us take the risk of getting hurt over and over again because there is always a strong urge to satisfy our heart’s desires. We invest times and most of our precious efforts in the hope of finding fulfillment on happiness. Love should be unconditional, it should be ideal but if there’s a conscious effort in our part to love unconditionally that there would be a lesser pain because the people we love wouldn’t have to live up to what we expect. We must open our eyes and open our hearts and never confine yourself to feelings that make us bitter and sad. There is life and love ahead of us. Happiness can only achieve when we learn to accept reality and only when we have accepted our faith. We can continue on, leave the past behind and hope for more better things to come. Also, we must open our hearts to forgiveness and don’t let hatred consume our whole being. Never give-up in prayer and be sincere in your intensions. When we have exhausted all our options and do when all hopes are gone, God will always be there to renew our spirits and give us more strength to bare our sufferings. There will always be a rainbow after a storm and there is always light after dark for as long as we love, for as long as we believe.

With Love,
