It is important to show love. In this case, even if the person seems indifferent, he is indifferent.

You want to be loved people, and it's okay Because you're human. Well, don't expect too much from this love, because it can disappear at any moment. <...>
While how the love of God always present in your life.

When you feel loved, creation of God, your soul will be filled with His love. But if the vessel of the heart to the brim full of divine love, that man no matter what he is given (or not given) people. Heart and already filled.

I remember you once said to me: "This love has caused me so much pain!" Don't know if you remember my answer. I told you what I have gathered from books and my own experience: love itself is never painful. Because love is life, love is the light that is the breath of our hearts is the blood circulation, through which the brain, heart and every cell is saturated with oxygen. When you love, life fills you. Love does not cause pain! But I believe that at that time you really felt pain. not only because of love, but because of unfulfilled hopes that didst expectation of reciprocity. You loved and you'd like rewards, reciprocal feeling. That's why then it became painful. Did you expect a definite reaction, but none came. But when you realize that true love is not seeking, not waiting, is not willing, then you will not be bothered, get something in response or not no. If the feeling will be mutual, you'll be very happy you will be fine; but otherwise, start to suffer.

The sun is the manifestation of divine love. Every morning when it appears over the horizon, it's like God telling us: "today I love you, and grant you another day." That is why it is important not just to get out of bed, have Breakfast and start the day in a good mood, but also to understand that the Lord gave you another day. To realize that God loves you! How would you yesterday wasn't angry, nor jealous, nor revenge, nor condemned, no matter how pleased his "I" - the Lord has again allowed you to see the sun, saying thus: "today I love you! Despite what happened yesterday. And today I'm giving you the chance again to make a choice."

Love goes hand in hand with freedom.

Each of us - its the harbour. Each person is given something to happiness and joy. The main thing to be happy about, the right to enjoy what they have.

We Christians have a great responsibility to preach the gospel. But only few of us are Christians, in fact, bearing in the heart of Christ. And most are only called as such what should be.
We don't give people ideas about safe Harbor - Christ. About attention, reasoning, sobriety, vigilance. People look at us - such a godly and perfect and can't see open arms, I do not see that the Church can be saved each one that we are all brothers.

Christianity is a humble choice without pressure on the other.

It is not enough to earn money. Yes, every day I go to work and the salary are in the house, but this is not enough! Because with the money I bring home, and anger and irritability. But the question is, how in addition to the salary to bring her family peace. At work, in the hustle and bustle, peace is not given.
You can get it only one way: to learn to stop. Learn to take in the silence - as did the Lord, going in the desert or a secluded place on the mount of olives.

Our drugs are our thoughts. We can't just sit quietly in silence. We need to watch or listen to the movie, music, news. Just get something!
But inside each of us so live and beautiful music is a heavenly melody. Just to hear it, needed silence.

The solution is in you. The Lord wants to reveal to you the divine will, but you're not ready to see her, reflected in the waters of your soul, because you have there is a constant storm. And God speaks to you quietly, almost in a whisper! And in order to hear His words, you need to take in the absolute silence.

Most of the rebels have become established precisely because it was seen in front of the negative examples that have brought one disappointment.

It is bad when Christians grumble, complain and murmur. Are you a Christian? Show it to rejoicing in your own family! Let your kids tell you that they have happy, joyful parents!
