Love

Here is a much more cheerful post.

I am so happy and thankful that Bethany and I were brought together in love. It is an amazing thing, love. There have been innumerable songs written about it and will be. The great king Solomon wrote literal thousands of songs for love. The Bible is filled with references of love.

Here's a few to refresh your memory...
"Greater love has no one than he that lays his life down for his friends",
"God is love",
"Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily

It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Love never fails"


It is an interesting concept in life. As children we see love from our parents. As teenagers we think we're in love. As young adults we seek out love. In our middle age we know we are in love. Finally, in our twilight years we wish for love. It is a vital part of our very being! Find someone that is not in love and you will find a miserable person. I am a young adult and believe that I have found love. I have found one of the most important and powerful things our lifetime, love for another person and love in return.

We, as humans, take love very seriously. What will people do for love? The greatest wars in history were fought over love. We have an entire holiday set aside for it. There is a constant need for books and movies about love in the media industry. The largest organization and machine on the planet is pornography, a misguided search for love. We are totally infused with the concept of love and the search for it. We crave it and desire it in everything we do. It is written in our DNA.
