I started trying to read blog examples and searching for great blogging topics and I just had to stop. I cant make myself follow an example or write about the great blog topic of finances. Yall do not want me giving advice on finances 🤑💰🤣
Truth be told I’m so random I may be talking to someone about a serious matter and out of nowhere a thought enters my head and I have to ask, “Who closes the bus door after the bus driver gets off??” And that’s a true story. Happened not to long ago, and was investigated so now I know😎
Anyways, love has been on my mind for quite some time now. There are so many definitions for it. I love so many people in so many different ways that if I think about it too much I hear sirens and see smoke..brain overload!
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 tells us all the things love is and isn’t and that it never fails. But it that all there is too it? Is it more than a feeling. Oh you better believe it. It’s a full time job with alot of overtime hours 😬
Someone near and dear to my heart defined it to me today in a way I don’t think I’ve ever heard before. She said “Loving someone is seeing the bad and choosing them still every single time. It’s sacrificing what you think to love them. It’s being there always. It’s never letting them feel even for a moment that they aren’t enough just the way they are.”
I can read those 4 sentences and know that I have failed to do all that many times. Sometimes it’s just easy to walk away when it gets tough. It can be hard to see the bad and then look past it and remember that this is someone you love. And I know I can be pretty blunt and come across rather cold, so I know I’ve probably made people feel less than enough. And give up my way of thinking just because I love someone. Pft..unheard of. So ya, she got me with those 4 lines.
If we all loved people the way we are loved by Jesus can you even imagine what a world this would be?
And what about people that think they don’t need Jesus to love?? Relationships/marriages with no Jesus are doomed. Doomed, I tell ya. Yall may laugh at me and be like “I been married for half my life and aint had Jesus at the center and we gettin along just fine”. That’s where my thoughts have lingered. I guess it’s true people get married and live long so-called happy lives and never pray or pick up a Bible or set foot in a church. But I still say it was a doomed marriage. One that only managed to survive.
There’s a difference in surviving and thriving. Read that again.
Just because you manage to grow old and gray together and you got some cute front porch rocking chairs you think you made it. You didn’t. If you dont water a garden it won’t grow. If you dont put that tightly packed dollar tree wash cloth in a bowl of water it will remain a rough fuzzy square.
Relationships without Jesus are like a round pizza in a square box. It just dont even make sense. ❤❤
