  • love: the noun (RT)





    love: the noun

        Love is a subject with many sides to it, and because of this, many different perceptions to the idea.  So, what is love?  Ask any number of people and you'll probably find that same amount of different answers.  Fortunately for us - as with many confusing questions - we can find good, true, reliable answer in the Word of God, the Bible. 

        God's idea of love has throughout history, been the standard from which poets, philosophers, and lovers have emulated their lives.  The idea of patients, the hope for well being, and courage to care beyond what is logical, and keeping no record of wrongs (as if nothing they did or could do would ever have meaning compared to their love for you)are all what the Bible says are the makings of love.  Love is sacred, affectionate, and sweet and isn't just a word to say when one feels a large amount of "like" for another person.  It's so much more than that.

    • I want to grow a tolerance for human frailty and imperfection.
    • I want to sing passionately for hours with out hurting my voice.
    • I want to live prudently with love, walk recklessly in wisdom, and speak with open ears.

    • I want to go a whole week eating nothing but my favorite foods



    • I want to get married.
    • I want to run the span of the Earth without becoming more tired than the first mile.
    • I want to fall asleep and dream for days.
    •  I want to hold so much scripture in my heart that with an open mind I'd be readily referred to God.
    • I want to build a family that is strong and faithful.
    • I want to know, at the end of this life, that I've made God proud.

  • is it wrong to tell a truths that hurts? (RT)



    Is it bad to call about the self centered?  Everything with them is so narcissistic; they can't see beyond their problems and it bothers me.  i can't stand it!

    Is it hypocritical?  Because i'm self centered and part of the reason i get so upset at people like that is because they don't pay attention to me. 

    When i was depressed, my mind was consumed with the actuality of my imperfections.  It was a downward spiral that i was caught up in.  Every time i tried to "fix" myself i was reminded of how "unfixed" i really was.  Someone would tell me to get over myself and i would hate myself for putting them threw so much frustration that they had to yell at me.  i got worse, and soon became suicidal. 

    All of that is in the past now and i'm fine, yet still when i see someone completely wrapped up in their own life, in themselves, is it wrong to show them their skewed perspective?  As hard it to hear about an sexual abuse, i can't help but feel a worse pain for those out there that are being rapped by the ideas in their head.

    The List

    Love Lists


    i was watching this movie called The List.  It's on of those cliche, bad acting, awkward script kind of films, but the story is endearing.  In the move the main character, after having very publicly been  rejected in a marriage proposal, makes a list of attributes of his perfect partner and doesn't let any girl near his heart without meeting that standard.  

    His list:
    • must like hockey
    • and Thai food
    • be bilingual
    • has to sing on key
    • must be 100% real everywhere
    • and must love Marven Gaye

    After the movie i thought about how how so many people have these kinds of lists and put themselves into a corner in which they may not want to be.  i am completly pro standard but i'm not a big believer in this "love list".  Although i don't want to make a serious list for myself, i thought i'd try one out like in the movie just for fun.  Hear's what i came up with.

    • Has :
    • must have interest in politics, business, or law
    • and enjoy hard work
    • must have a passion
    • and be light hearted
    • has to have  good character
    • and strive to be Intelligent and polite
    • should want a humble life

    i can't help but wonder if my future wife has made a list, and if so i wonder if or how many things i meet anything on it.

  • i


    Think about this. 

    i write my name in lower cased letters to project my nothingness compared to God.  i write God's name in capitalized letters to project His Greatness.  All this for the glory of God; to praise in His mercies towards us and gifts to us and love for us as well as life in us.



    AS YOU READ, you may think i'm weird or crazy or even a mindless follower of some strange cult.  But the matter of the fact is that i am a Christian.  i have not been tricked, fooled nor am i unintelligent.  God is real, and He really is changing my life.  If you want to know God, you have to seek Him first, but lucky for us, He's not so far away.  All we have to do is close our eyes, and pray.


    one Love,

    james/winslow
