Greatest Love

Sometimes,
the greatest love
is that which watches from afar.
To know that they're happy
even if it's not with you.
To know they're smiling,
even if it's not because of your presence.
To know they're laughing,
even if it's not your joke.
The greatest love keeps silent
and keeps smiling despite the pain
that they're loved one
might unknowingly or knowingly
bring.
Because the greatest love
is not of one's selfishness
but being selfless for the one
that you love most dearly.

It is the truth, that the greatest love is sometimes the most painful of all. Jesus loved us so much that He died for the salvation of the world. As people, we encounter the same thing. Sometimes, the greatest love of all is the selfless love that seeks nothing in return.
