Love Is a Decision

Love is not a feeling we have; it is a decision to treat people the way Jesus would treat them.

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
--- John 15:12

My own reflection on this Thought:
* On wedding sacraments, I often see how the couples smile lovingly to one another, how full of love they are in the beginning of the journey.
But then, what's next? When the feeling, the spark, the chemistry or whatsoever you call it... has gone and the relationship turns out to be sour or bitter? They've seemed forgetting their vows that they've made before God in the house of the Lord.
Love is a decision. I'm not going to say it is an easy thing to do, but at least if we got Jesus within our hearts, we should remember this question: what would Jesus do if He were in our position? What would Jesus do towards His family, His friends, or even to a stranger that He has just met?
Let's decide to love today! Spread your love to the people around you, people that you meet today... (-fon-)
