Love

I guess to start off, Love explained in this story was a little crazy for me. In the beginning when Terri was talking about a previous spouse, she was saying how he loved her so much he tried to kill her. I'm not sure how I feel about the whole killing thing to be honest. That is probably what stuck out to me the most about the whole story. If you love someone, why would you kill them? Maybe they are suffering on a death bed. Could you really live with the responsibility of the death of your loved one. There should not be any abuse between any spouse. The way Terri talked about this guy dragging her around and beating her up is totally up-surd. A guy should not even threaten to hit a lady. Abusive love is not love, it is sick.
    As a man of God, I know I am only supposed to love my spouse and not lust over other girls. It's funny how this subject came up for our first blog. Love to me is special. Love is when you see that girl who is the only girl in the room even when their might be some other attractive girls in the room. Love is when you're there for her in a good mood or bad mood. Love is not violent, but gentle, patient, and kind.

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 explains exactly what love should be. The last part about persevering is a part of love that is probably one of the hardest ones to do. I have found that persevering shows that you can commit. Persevering through the good times and the bad is not easy. I will not pursue someone unless I feel like they are wife material (for me that is). I 'd rather not waste the time or money going on dates. I want to know that one of my friends is going to be there for me through everything. A best friend. Why not build a strong friendship before taking it to the next level? You can be yourself with a great friend through the good times and the bad. People should look at their own friends before searching for something that has been in front of them for a while. You are going to have to live with this person for most of your life.

    I know I'm not married or anything, but I've seen love between people and the right and wrong ways to go about it. I feel that I've been getting a taste of what real love is. God's love should be first. I've prayed about sharing that love with someone who will always be around. Someone to love on and make happy. Someone who you can share God with and help one another spiritually. Someone to laugh, cry, and pray with. I'm very passionate about love. I feel that it is a big deal and that it is worth more money than the world could offer. Money is pretty common, love is not. There is love in God, and love for that special person that matches with the 1 Corinthians verse. Of course their is always growth for things, but that is why we have a guidebook called the Bible. Don't waste a moment when something gives you that urge to persevere the heart of someone that is worth it. Prayer is the biggest help and motivator. Let God direct your path of love and you can never go wrong. The lyrics to this song below speak some truth....
