Love?

How to determine when you're in love or you are just admiring?

..when everything else is lost and what's left is the person, without his wealth, his beauty, his cloak, his good attitude..when the person is devoid of beauty - in and out - and you still want to be with that person..that's love..

Pag nawala na ang lahat ng yaman at ganda sa tao..kung nakita mo na ang kasamaan ng kanyang ugali..kung nakita mo na ang totoong sya..at mahal mo pa rin at tanggap mo pa rin sya, napapatawad kung sya ay nagkakamali, inuunawa kung ikaw ay nasasaktan..ikaw ay  totoong umiibig..

It cannot be measured by how long you are together..but only time can tell if it will endure..

(Heard in 700 Club Asia) 

1 Cor 13:4-7

Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy nor 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.
