TRUE LOVE~
*gives me His identity-His name...Christian
*knows my heart and loves me anyway
*heals my brokenness
*satisfies the deepest longings of my soul
*Calls me His Beloved Daughter
*protects me as I face evil
*is my strength
*Is my rear guard and the one standing beside me holding my hand
*teaches me and instructs me in the way I should go
*plans each day out for me and even lets me pick what we do some days
*gives me all things I could ever need...clothes, shelter, every meal
*takes me on beautiful adventures both big and small
*trusts me enough to let me help Him accomplish His purposes on this earth
*wraps me up in His exquisite beauty AND calls me beautiful
*Died on a Cross and defeated death so I could be set free from death and condemnation
*Died on a Cross so I could live a life discovering just how high and deep and long and wide TRUE LOVE really is.
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophesy, and can fathom all mystery and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophesies they will will cease; where there are tongues they will stilled; where there is knowledge it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child I talked like a child, thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13
This is what I, a single 23 year old, knows of true love and I'm okay with that ;)
