Love does matter

‘When it’s all been said and done, there is just one thing that matters. Did I do my best to live for truth; did I live my life for You?’ Thus go the lyrics of the song of Don Moen. I am convinced that this is what matters when it comes to life and our daily living. At the end of the day when we make an examination of conscience or just make a simple review of the day, we see as to how much good we were able to do to others and not how much money we made that day.

            This is the same measurement that God uses for us. At the evening of our lives, some of us become negative while some remain positive. When we go back to Him, the only question He will ask us is ‘How much love did you spread around?’ All of us very well know that LOVE is the basis and the criterion of our lives.

            However being human beings who are weak and fragile, we tend to falter and fall along on the path as we journey on the road called LIFE. Another person whose life is based on love; comes and picks us up. We are human beings whose lives are essentially based on LOVE. Love is the most powerful weapon the world can produce. This weapon can pierce or break through evil minds, jealous hearts, stiff necked thinking and so on.

            Jesus is the greatest example of love. He gave Himself up as a sacrifice for our sake. He could do all things He did precisely because His heart was filled with abundance of love. Other such examples are Don Bosco, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and many more. All these people were filled love and expressed it in their own respective ways. We need to be persons who are filled with love and who reach out to others in need.
