God's prescription for lasting relationship
1. Become the right person.
2. Walk in love.
3. Fix your hope on God and seek to please Him through this relationship.
4. If failure occurs, repeat steps 1,2, and 3.

I am so grateful for this weekend. =) God has totally energized me and reminded me to look at my life with a wider perspective...I hope I can keep this perspective so that I won't be too stressed throughout the term.

"And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen." Ephesians 3:17-21 (NLT)
