something i found that made me smile..and a reminder of what love is about.

"So there's been a lot of drama in my life this weekend and I've learnt really that you do things better when you do not think about yourself first. I mean we see that all the time, players who put their team first, patriots who put their country first and the list goes on. And it's a pity to say this but a lot of times when it comes down to the crunch, God's presence isn't exactly the first thing you base your actions on. So the next best thing is to think for the people around you and to do right by them. It's amazing how much more strength one can draw from wanting to protect his loved ones than from motivations of a more predatory nature. History speaks for itself, a country looking to conquer never wins a war, instead the victors are always those who fight to protect."

i find it an understatement to say that God's presence isnt exactly the first thing u base ur actions on cos often the Godly values are already ingrained in us(well they shld!!) and they are already part of our subconscious being so much so that we dun have to deliberately think about them..

but the 2 sentences after that are beautiful.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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
