"Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
John 14:21
i know this verse, just for some reason it's become more real to me lately, probably because ive actually been holding up my part of this promise.
promises have come to mean a little more to me lately. i usually just think of them as something that i or anyone else cant or shouldnt make because technically no one knows that they are going to be able to hold up a promise. things happen that you cant control and thats why God should be the only promise maker because he's in control.
i know that not everyone feels the same way about this idea so i get a little confused when people tell me that i havent kept my "promise" cause im thinking "i didnt make a promise." but then again i feel like a hypocrite because i know that if someone tells me, for instance, they might/will hang out with me on some day/night and then it doesnt happen, i get all upset. but im working on changing that. its not worth getting upset over because i realize things do come up and if there is something that that person wants to do more they should be able to do it and would you really want to keep that person from doing that thing they want to do more just because they said they would hang out with you? not fun to be obligated to do something.
so hopefully this will all work out, by loving my friends like i should, i believe i will see Jesus instead of wasting time being upset.
con tutto il mio corre
