Hey darlin'!!
Remember the verse that says "God is love"? He IS love..and in the purest, most intense form! When you talk about true love on earth..it's not even near the extent as to what God has to offer-because it's earthly-just not up to par! But God has created, designed, protected, provided, blessed, and bought with sacrifice and death because of love. That's true love.
Don't become angry at your friends because they are getting close! Instead...follow God's example and love them! And don't worry about dying alone or with a guy...shift your focus to God! He's the one who will give you the feelings of worth and purpose. And besides..it's not worth worrying about..now-or ever! You are valued and loved!
My challenge to you is to fall in love with the one who fell in love with you first--your Saviour!!
Wow Sarah - you really gave ME something to think about! Sarah is totally bang on with what she said and her challenge at the bottom is something that WE ALL need to remember. One thing I've learned is that man's love is TEMPORARY and God's love is ETERNAL - it lasts forever!
From a married perspective... love is also a COMMITTMENT. There will be days that you don't really even like the person you are married to (gasp! yes it happens - we all have our faults) but marriage vows are sacred and once again... they are a committment! Unconditional love! One thing I've heard (for those yet to get married) - you need to ask yourself not "can I live WITH this person?" but rather "can I live WITHOUT this person?" Also, never go into a relationship or a marriage thinking you can CHANGE the person - it doesn't work that way! Only God can change us :) My hubby lets me down & I've let him down - we aren't perfect only God's love is & with His help, we are committed to each other "till death do us part". Always be yourself - don't think you need to change just to make friends or potential boyfriends like you...
So basically - set your heart and eyes on things above and the rest will fall into place!
Only one life will soon be past... only what's done for Christ will last :) Blessings!
Hi Jerusha. You asked me to comment, but I'm not sure what to tell you about love. I agree with Sarah and with Louise. They've shown you God's love and what a marriage is supposed to be. All I can say is, set your sights on God. I met my husband at a worship conference. I was not thinking about boyfriends, I was totally focused on Jesus. Before my husband met me, he went through a series of not-so-great experiences in the dating world. He gave up and decided to focus on God and only then did he meet me. Anyway, Jerusha, would you mind posting back here so we can know if we've helped you at all?
Hey Jerusha!
Thanks for your nice comment, I did get your last one, by the way. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.
I agree with all of the comments! God is the ultimate example of love! There is a time for love and if it's God's plan He will bring you someone who will really love you for who you are.
But I agree with Sarah too; focus on God and He will show you what TRUE love is. There's more to love than between a guy and girl. That's an amazing part of life, to have that "special man", but it's SO MUCH MORE amazing to really know how much God loves you and to know that you are loved by friends and family too.
I'll be praying for ya!
The concept of love has been pondered for centuries both by the layman and the philosopher, and it surely will be for time ad infinitum.
There is no definite answer to the question of love, or, if love is the answer, than what is in fact the question? I think that you need to contemplate the meaning of love for yourself, and a meaning will appear to you in time.
Until then, let me leave you with somewhere to start:
"Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love". ~ Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
Jerusha..wow what amazing and thoughtful comments by people who LOVE and care for you:)
Remember that Friday a long time ago when you were really sad because someone that you liked didn't return the same feelings? I shared with you a verse in Songs of Sol (2:7) that says...do not awaken love until it so desires. You can't force love... So how do you find love...here are some of my thoughts:
The first, begin with the understanding of Christ's TRUE and DEEP love for you. There is NO greater example than the love of Christ.
The next step is understanding your value and knowing who you are in Christ. You must love yourself and love who Christ created you to be before you can love others.
Then you will be able to fully love others because you will KNOW what true love is and where it all begins...in Christ!
Love ya girl! Nelia
well jerusha. really i don't have much more to say for you. i believe that all that everyone else has said is what i feel. so i give one big huge DITTO to all the previous comments.
Haha. You want me to comment? Have you read the others? What else can I add? Are you looking for a different answer?
I got a book you should probably read. You have one too. It's made from a whole bunch of other ones, all put together. Some call it a Bible.
You want to know love? Those are the words of love. Going to to Sarah's reference that 'God is love' and the Bible being the 'Word of God', then it is 'the word of love'. Betcha never thought of it that way huh?
Read it.
I'm sure that the indigenous peoples of North America have a different opinion of that statement Werner.
As for "The word of God," I disagree. The Bible is a human interpretation of God's word, perhaps. You also have to consider how often that the Bible has been translated from one language to another. I am skeptical as to the accuracy of those translations. I doubt that professional translators and standards of practice were in place all those centuries ago.
thanks all who commented on here
Ever hear of the red sea scrolls jared?
