Roman 15, verse two says, “Let each of us please his neighbor “for his good to edify him.” Sometimes some of us think that happiness comes from pleasing ourselves. Some in money, some in houses, some in cars, some in sex, but that does not bring happiness. So look for happiness, true happiness. It comes more from pleasing others. That’s what brings happiness. So do acts of love with humility, with joy. Believing in God, loving Him, and cherishing Him will help us help others. You will see yourself respecting people, caring for them, and trying to do good for others, giving you inner joy and happiness. The people are doing good, and we will be really happy.

Or somebody hurts you, and you know the person has forgiven you…

Love Believes All Things
Love believes in all things. Do we believe in love? Do we believe in God? The God who created us, who gave us life? Do we believe? I hear some people, sometimes they say, “My father hurt me so much. For me, he doesn’t exist.” He doesn’t exist? He exists. Your father exists. Whether you like it or not, your father exists. It’s the same with…
