Have you ever thought for some moments about life? What is life all about? What do you think about life?

Through my opinion and experience of life I can say that life is all about 'loving' the other person you are with during each moment of your life. In simple terms, your life is a gift to the other person, that is for the other person to be 'loved' by you. This is the greatest gift you can give to the other person.

This gift of 'loving ' the other person is the spiritual 'love' given by the Father as presented through His Son Jesus Christ. This is the 'love' we are to give. But how can we give this 'spiritual love'? This is only possible if we let Jesus be the source of our lives. This is to let Jesus take full control of our lives and to use our lives to spread the good news.

Giving this spiritual ‘love’ to others entails to lose everything, that is to reach out to the needs of the other person and not to focus on your own personal needs. Loving the other person means that the other person is more important than yourself. To be able to do this, it is required that you concretely decide to follow Him, to give your life to Him... and let Him take control of your life.

Jesus, is to be the source of your life.
