I just wanna share what we’ve discussed today during our youth gathering. :)
- Storge — means “affection.” It is natural affection, like that felt by parents for offspring.
- Philio — means “friendship” or “affectionate love.” It is a dispassionate virtuous love and it includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and familiarity.
- Eros — is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. It can be interpreted as a love for someone whom you love more than the philia, love of friendship.
- Agape – is “unconditional love.” Agape is used in the biblical passage known as the “love chapter”, 1 Corinthians 13,
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Dear God,
Nothing is greater than You. Even though sometimes, I tend to forget about You, You still shower me things I don’t deserve.. Please forgive all my sins and shortcomings and help me not to commit them again.. Give me the wisdom to identify what’s right and wrong.
Thank you for all the blessings you continue to bestow upon me and thank you for helping me overcome the recent problem I’ve had.. Please help me forgive those who have sinned against me.. Help me not to hold grudge against them and please purify my heart and my soul. I ask these in Jesus’ name..
The best thing you can do when you feel attracted to somene is to immediately give your feelings to God.
“Lord thank you for the qualities I see in this person.. Please take my emotions and guard them.. Enable me to keep my heart protected. If it is Your desire to enter a relationship with him/her, then I leave the details in Your hands. May I not manipulate and grow impatient, but allow You to remain in complete control. You will be faithful. You care more about this area of my life than I ever do.”
The person you are attracted to may seem like the only Warrior-Poet or the Beautiful Princess in existence, and you may not imagine living without them. But the reality is that if he/she’s not the one God wants you to be with, then the person He has chosen for you will fit your life even more perfectly and what you esteem in him will be even more than what you see in this person.. Don’t allow your emotions to lead the way — take a step back and surrender them afresh to your loving Father.. When your heart is fully yielded to Christ, you will be far more able to discern between His voice and the voice of your own desires.

Making the most of being single means being on your own. It’s just you and God. Being single is about discovering who you are, setting personal boundaries, knowing your likes and dislikes, your passions and the desires of your heart.
If you don’t know these things about yourself, you’re going to date the wrong person. You will end up living a story that is unintended for you."
1. God, give me someone that will drive me closer to you.
2. God, give me someone that will help advance your kingdom.
3. God, give me someone that can be unloveable, so I may love them the way you love me.
4. God, give me someone who can also love the unloveable, for that is me far too often.(via)
