Found this on one of the websites, which probably many of us are lack in; whether is it among your families or relatives or friends or Cg or even Connect group.

Hope this would bless you all. ^_^
==============================================

As Christians we believe in love! Love for God and others, for "God is Love"! (1Jn.4:8) That's our religion--Love!

Love is everything, for without love there is nothing--No friends, no families, no fathers or mothers or children or health or happiness or God or Heaven--there could be none of these without Love! And none of these is possible without God, for He is Love!

For if we have real love, we can't face a needy situation without doing something about it. We can't just pass by the poor man on the road to Jericho! We must take action like the Samaritan did! (see Lk.10:25-37.) Many people today say, "Oh, I'm so sorry, how sad!" But compassion must be put into action! That's the difference between pity and compassion: Pity just feels sorry; compassion does something about it!

We must demonstrate our faith by our works, and love can seldom be proven without tangible manifestation in action. To say you love someone and yet not try to help them physically in whatever way they may need--food, clothing, shelter, and so on--this is not love! True, the need for real love is a spiritual need, but it must be manifested physically in works--"Faith which worketh by love"! (Gal.5:6)

For "greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends!" (Jn.15:13) The sharing of ourselves, our love and our life with others, is the greatest of all sharing and our ultimate goal, as well as our present means to that end.

In fact, this is why God created man to begin with: to love--to love and enjoy Him forever and to try to help others to do the same! It was God who created love and gave man the need to love and be loved, and it is He alone who can satisfy the deepest yearning of every human soul for total love and complete understanding.

What is a Disciple? The English word "Disciple" comes from the word "discipline", So, if English was the original language one would expect a learner to be someone very disciplined in following the words of his/her Master. But the original language was not English, but Aramaic. And since Aramaic is a a very little used language we cannot be absolutely sure about the nuances of the word used by Jesus himself, and his – disciples. We are therefore referred to the oldest available texts, one translation-step away from the Aramaic – The antique Greek.

{math-ay-tes’} { maqhthv" }= a learner, pupil, disciple

The word math-ay-tes’ is derived from the word man-than’-o

{man-than’-o} { manqavnw }= to learn, be appraised, to increase one’s knowledge, to be increased in knowledge, to hear, be informed, to learn by use and practice, to be in the habit of, accustomed to

How is it possible for one disciple to love all other disciples?

First it must start with – discipline. A disciple behave as if he love, and Jesus has taught us how. An important part of behaving lovingly is to serve our fellow man (and in particular the other disciples). As we strive and pray to love our brothers and sisters, we will be sad when we fail to give that love. As we repent of our shortcomings, we will become more aware of the redeeming love that the Master have for us..m

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. (1 John 4:19-21)
