Thoughts on Love

For one human being to love another;
that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks...
the work for which all other work is but preperation.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
~Author Unkown

If I can speak beutifully and can sing like an angel, but don't love others, I sound like a child banging on a piano or a screeching radio.
If I'm very smart, almost a genius, if I can figure out the hardest math problems and understand sentence diagrams, but don't love others, I am nothing.
Love will stand in line and wait its turn.
Love looks for the good in others.
Love doesn't always want what others have, and it doesn't brag about what it does have.
Love is polite, even when the other person is rude.
Love doesn't always have to be first.
Love doesn't get angry over the small things, and it doesn't remember one reason after another to be hurt.
Love isn't happy when someone else fails, but is happy with the truth.
Love will always protect others, especially those who are often picked on or teased.
Love always believes the best about others and is steady and true.
Love never gives up. Preaching will stop someday. So will speaches. Knowledge will come to an end. Today we only know part of what there is to know. We can preach and speak only with a small part of understanding, but when perfection comes then what is imperfect will go away.
I am now young, and so I talk and think and speak like a child. When I become an adult I will put childish ways behind me. Now we see only a poor reflection, like in a mirror; then we will see face to face. Now I only know part of wht there is to know; then I will know fully and will be fully known.
Only three things really matter in life: Faith, Hope, and Love.
But the greatest is Love.
