7 August 2013 by Joycelyn Loh CM –
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. ” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8)
Love is not only meant for romantic love only, but as well as kinship as well etc. Because of love, all things are possible. Because of love, one will learn to appreciate things in their own life.
