To have peace in our heart we must at all times seek to do the will of God; which is to be selfless (desire nothing for our self) and to serve others unconditionally. We must also unconditionally forgive others and help those who hurt us. This means that we must be like Jesus. Though it is impossible to follow Jesus on our own, He can do it for us, if we humbly open our heart to His graces by full heartedly desiring to follow Him. We can keep this desire alive in our heart by remembering His love for us in all our thoughts, words and actions.

God is love. Jesus is love incarnate. He surrendered His life and sacrificed it inorder to bring forgivness for our sins. He is selfless.  Therefore, during His passion, He was concerned about about our salvation and not about His own suffering.   He served those around Him by healing the sick, comforting the afflicted, freeing us from sins and teaching us the truth.

Love, therefore, surrenders and sacrifices self, to unconditionally serve and forgive others.

Should not we be faithful in our marriage, even if our spouse is not?

God always stays faithful to His covenant with us. When we were unfaithful to Him, He brought us healing by sacrificing His own life.   The Lord told Hosea (Hosea 3:1), to return to his wife although she was an adulteress.  God further told him to love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they were unfaithful to Him.

  Those who practice true love never seek reward for acts of love for the following reasons. 1) The privilege to love and serve others itself is the greatest reward, because, this give them a share in God’s life. They are, therefore, exceedingly thankful to God, for performing acts of love through them. 2) To love others is their heart’s desire.  Therefore, when they love others by their acts, it is a reward or a gift to them.  God gives us a free gift. His gift is the gift of His own life, which He gave us by sacrificing His own life.  It is the only gift that is real, because, it is the only gift that gives us life and is eternal.  To accept this gift, is to live His life of sacrificial and life giving forgiveness. To live this life is our reward.
