Love is the most potent force in the world. It has the capacity to overcome darkness and evil. It even has the power to diffuse tension, to dispel hatred and to quench the fiery darts of anger. Love can bring to your doorstep what faith cannot bring even though it is driven or fueled by faith. It is fueled by faith because you cannot walk in love without faith. Faith gives you a reason to love even when the circumstances do not make it favourable to love. Love is a weapon that can win any battle if it is properly wielded. Regardless of the power love has to stabilize our lives and our world, many people have turned away from the ways of love.

Love is hardly and rarely practiced even in the Christian community in recent times. The unfortunate truth is that we do not love anymore. We have become self-centered and most of the things we do are aimed at benefitting us rather than the people around us. We think about what we would gain before we do anything for anyone. If the outcome will not be beneficial to us, we refuse to do for others what they request of us. Although there are instances where people support each other sacrificially, most of our good deeds are motivated by selfish interest.
