Love Is the Greatest

Some years back, I watched an episode of Oprah Winfrey's show and the topic was on Love. Since many marriages were failing in America, that show just had to happen. I was happy that of all the resources at her disposal, she turned to the Bible for a solution. She read I Corinthians 13.

"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages."

In this Department, some of my friends think I'm a learner or not yet got it yet. Okay, here is the catch "Love is a Verb, more than a Noun. Its an action word". Love is the most used word in the world. This is an extract from my youth Bible my Father gave me when I was young.

"Am I Really in Love? Test yourself to discover whether you're really in love. " I love you if ..." I value your uniqueness. I freely give my joy, interests knowledge, understanding, humour and sadness to you. I give you freedom to be true to yourself. I am happy to be with you most of the time. I really like, trust and respect you. I want our relationships to be permanent, I focus on your personality, not just sexual feelings, "I care about your pleasures and well-being as much as my own. I feel like I "belong" to you. Our relationships has deepened during the past six months.When we're really in Love, we can honestly answer "Yes" to these questions. The lover in songs of Solomon are enthralled with each other. Read Song of Solomon 2:10-17."

If you need clarity about Love, talk to some persons you respect and want to be like.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona (El-clasico)

For all you football lovers like me, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona (popularly known as El-clasico) was very entertaining today. Barcelona stole the show, trashing Real Madrid 4-0. 

This results  takes Barcelona 6 point clear up the La Liga table. Goals from Neymar, Andres Iniesta and two from Lius Suarez sealed the deal. The match started by observing a minute silence for victims of Paris attacks. 

When the match kicked off, I was expecting to see Messi in the field but was disappointed as he was on the bench. Messi has been on injury for the past 6 weeks. 

It was his first game after the injury but was substituted in the second half. But the match was already done and dusted before the arrival of the four time world best player. His presence in the match produced the fourth goal, by a pass to Neymar who flicks to Saurez and we all know what happened after that. Saurez kisses his thumb in delight He wasn’t even needed in the Match.

 
I’m really impressed with Bravo, he was incredible with many wonderful saves denying Ronaldo, Isco and other Madrid players from scoring

Real Madrid fans applauded Iniesta while some left the stage after the fourth goal was scored. Here is what the Real Madrid’s Coach had to say about the match “when you lose in this way there is worry as to how the players will react we’ve paid for our mistakes.” Here are some other comments after the match:

Luis Enrique says “it will go down in all history as a memorable game for Barca”
Iniesta says “We neutralized Madrid”
