TRUE LOVE

I really question if many human beings understand what true love is.  I have heard many different opinions on what people think it is, but when they have to pin it down to something simple it becomes a challenge.  They say things like its an emotion that they feel or something they enjoy.  Things they…

Will guys notice me?

As her beauty developed she tried to find comfort in that billboard of what society said was attractive. That look of an outward appearance being flawless.  As she looked in the mirror to compare she knew she would have to make make many changes because she wasn’t even close to looking like that.

He waited 7 plus 7 years for marriage

  Over the last couple months I have been learning more and more about what real love is and how to apply it. So looking through the bible I have found scripture that have given me a better understanding of the Love of God.   1 Corinthians 13 has a list of these characteristics that show…

Love is Kind

Can you imagine a world where everybody was kind to one another?  Now for me growing up, that wasn’t a common word that I heard in the vocabulary of others.  Every once in a while I would hear somebody say it but didn’t know the true meaning of kindness.  So if you are anything like…

Love is Patient

There is beauty in patience, because it requires you to wait on the Lord.  We come from a society that is instant gratification based.  If something takes longer then our patience will allow, we move on to something else.  That same societal norm has also infiltrated our relationships.  I am not just talking about the…
