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…

Proverbs 15:30 says, A cheerful glance brings joy to the heart. Good news invigorates the bones. If you smile at somebody, the person tends to smile back. At that moment, you see like joy coming out of you. It relieves the stress. It’s like medicine. It cures many things within. Try to put on that face of smiling and impact on people’s life…

Matthew 25:40 says I lost it. I hope that 40 was on the next page. “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me.'” If President Biden or Pope Francis comes here and wants a cup of water, everybody will run scatter-skelter, falling on each other to provide them…

Love never fails. Faith may come to an end when we see God face to face. Hope can end because what we’re hoping for has been fulfilled by then. But love never ends. Love never fails because in heaven, what will we do with God and all the angels and all the saints? Enjoy that relationship of love. You can see that there is joy and happiness…

Love endures all things. It’s not easy to endure, but love endures all things. Do you see what is happening in our society today? No more commitment. Everything is like going to the supermarket. If you don’t like it, you throw it away or return it. We are getting used to throwing away. Throw away plates, cutlery, food, and everything…

Love hopes all things. Hope is one of those virtues that is eroding from our society. Nothing to expect. Nothing to live for. And that’s why some go drinking and wilding about, and that’s why some commit suicide. Hope gives meaning to our life. Somebody was talking to me this afternoon; he was established in business and walking…

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…

“Love bears all things.” Love bears all things. Even when the person is making mistake, the person who truly loves, bears. It’s like our parents. We do something wrong, they bear with us. Because they love you, they want to give you a good future. Look a Saint Monica and Saint Augustine. Saint Monica kept on praying for this child, praying…

“Love rejoices in the truth. It rejoices in the right.” Truth gives us the reality as it is, without falsifying it. But the problem is, are we ready for it? Sometimes, the truth hurts. Especially if it is being told about us. And we don’t want our idiosyncrasies to be exposed, our mistakes. It hurts, but the truth has to be told because truth is life…

Love does not rejoice at wrong. It does not rejoice over wrongdoing. There are some people who rejoice at seeing others do wrong. They want to see it so that they can gossip and talk about it. There are also some people who rejoice and brag about telling people off or hurting them. That’s not the right spirit. Sometimes you hear people…
