Through my relationship with Troy, my definition of ‘love’ has greatly increased.
As he and i were laying in bed talking at 5.30 this morning, i was pondering a few of things i’ve learned thru him.
Love can feel heavy
Love is gentle
Love can be hard
Love expects patience
Love gives, takes and hopes for the best
Love is comoforting
Love encourages growth
Love is holding hands during an argument
Love says we will get thru this together
Love is a hug after a spanking
Love sees past the pain to what can be
Love is kind
Love is a smile that melts away hurt
Love lets go of the past failures
Love speaks when we want to run and hide
Love doesn’t give up
Love expects God’s best for people
Love doesn’t have rants
Love endures much
Love may be jealous at times
Love breeds more love
Love is not self-seeking
Love covers over a multitude of sins
Love protects
Love trusts
Love hopes
Love perseveres
Love never fails
Love is not easily angered, yet doesn’t delight in evil
Love is ever before me
Love is better than life itself
Love is as strong as death
Love is the fulfillment of the law
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 1 Jn. 3.16
Love requires sacrifice. This is my current lesson on love.
[luke 9.23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.]
