RE: Love is Perfect and Infinite.

LOVE IS PERFECT AND INFINITE

by: Catherine Rose Alexandria B. Santos

If you say that love is perfect (or love should be perfect), therefore no human can love. Why? Because we are not perfect. In my opinion, the only perfect I know is God. Maybe we CAN be perfect, but it's sooooo hard (to be good?) and we can never be like Him. If ever we can do it (for example starting today), still we're not perfect because we already have stains, right? Unlike Him, never siyang nagka-stain. 

We need to face reality, practically. You don't need to take the Bible, LITERALLY. You're using the Bible as your guide in life, right? Well, that's great! However, it's not that applicable everyday. We are talking about real life situations here. Have you ever experienced (all) those things written in the Bible? The Holy Spirit guided those writers which is why every word seemed so perfectly sweet. How 'bout us? Do we always ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance AND are we sure that the Holy Spirit is guiding us?

Everything has an end. There is no such thing as forever. Love in our world, is all about feelings. The way people love, there will always be faults. Maybe love is perfect BUT lovers aren’t. :P

Only God is perfect. Only His love is everlasting. We cannot compare ourselves to Him, never. 

Challenges:

• How can you say that love is perfect if you've never been in a relationship? Have you loved perfectly? How?
• How can you say that you can be perfect if you've never lived a perfect life? Or are you doing your best to live a perfect life? What’s happening now? 
• You don't need to memorize the law, what you need to do is to live by the law. Start with yourself, then your family.
• Again, we’re talking about real life experiences/situations. It’s hard to judge people/relationship/love when you're not fitting into his or her shoes. We shouldn’t be biased. We should consider every factor which affects people’s behavior and affection. 
• It’s impossible to wake a person who’s awake, same with explaining things to people who doesn’t want to listen.

I agree that nothing in this world is perfect. Only God! ♥ And love, I guess, is the most perfect feeling in the world - it feels like heaven when you love and when you're loved in return. But then, only God could love perfectly because His love is unconditional. No matter who you are or what you do, He would still accept you & love you, even if you don't love Him back. Unlike us, we only give our hearts to someone who's willing to love us back. And we love, but we always give conditions. "Don't do this or don't say that, or else, my love for you will fade." We always find faults in someone. But sometimes, we say these things because we want our loved ones to be a better person since nobody's perfect and everyone has his/her flaws. I guess, when you love, you want your lover to be the best person he/she can be.

"Everything has an end. There's no such thing as forever." God's love for us is eternal, it's beyond forever. But for lovers, I guess the statement "I wanna love you forever." means "I wanna love you until the day I die." Because unlike God, we are mortals and our life has an end. And for us humans, I guess, forever ends during the day we die. I hope you get what I mean. :)

Perfect Love is Unconditional Love. Therefore, only God's love is perfect. In our context, I think, you love perfectly when you only want the best for that person and you always want that person happy, even if what makes him/her happy hurts you. Love will last most likely when your attitude is like this. It's hard, though. Especially the second one, because oftentimes, you still love yourself more than the way you love him/her. That's why no matter how much you love one person, the relationship will come to an end when you’re hurt or when expectations are not met, and suddenly you'll realize that sometimes love is not enough.Ö

Nobody's perfect, yes. But with love, we could be the best persons that we can be. :">
