There are plenty of stories that portrait love in a way that's compelling and almost believable, but what happens after the wedding? Or after the big scene where there is forgiveness? Most movies or storybooks leave this part out. I doubt they do it to make us buy into a lie that a romantic love has no fault but reality of the matter is; it does.
When I was little I told my mom that I didn't EVER want to get married and naturally when I was 13 I had my first crush. I'm sure everyone can relate to a time in their life where this was true.
As I got older, I had my heart broken and thought the world was going to end, and in turn I made choices that didn't reflect what I believe.
I believe that Love is:
patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ESV)
The love talked about here is the love that Jesus portrayed in the Bible and the older I get, the more I realize that the kind of love I want is Jesus' love.
If that means I never meet the right person, I'll still be able to turn to the one that can give me more then any man.
I'll never be cheated on, lied to, heart broken or hurt.
This love; is a love to hold onto. Married, single, divorced or searching because it NEVER fails.
Figuratively speaking; I'm dating someone special and He's the best boyfriend I've ever had!
