Do you know that it's easy to love those who are lovely? As long as everyone with whom we are in contact is nice, pleasant, easy-going, and kind, we learn nothing about love. These people are easy to love. But as soon as you pray for love--say the words, "God, teach me how to love"--someone will come into your life who is nasty, bitter, cranky, difficult, harsh, mean-spirited; because when you can learn to love that person, then you will have learned something about love.

We tend to always misuse the words "I love you." Love is not just feelings.. It is a decision.. a continuous effort to show good to someone even when there is nothing in return. It is selfless, sacrificial and transformational.. It is easy to say those words "I love you." but it is not easy to live it out. I'm learning.. I know I can love because He first loved me. My source of love comes from God because God is love. People can deny religious activities..but they can't deny love.
