Pride and prejudice

Sunday, August 29, 2004
With her central characters, Jane Austen suggests that true love is a force separate from society and one that can conquer even the most difficult of circumstances. Indeed. Love can break down communication barriers, dissolve squabbles, soften hearts of stone.

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)

We need to have faith. I need to. That amongst all the confusion, misunderstandings, violence and sin, as long as there is love, hope is not far away.

yeah, sister, love is what makes the world go round, love is what keeps us together..."And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." May God help us put away our pride and our prejudices and teach us to love, as per 1 Cor 13.

p/s Glad to note that you've berhenti posting about Perhentian. It seemed tak berhenti-henti, though it was enjoyable.
