Love
the number one thing that IS God, is love. This is a word commonly used today. People say they "love" things, but do they know what that truly means? The world has watered it down so much. There are different forms of love. If you begin to truly, really care for something or someone's wellbeing, then it is love. Not when you lust after their body, not when you find something that makes you feel good (that's selfishness), but when you care about another's wellbeing.
And then there is a deeper love you find with one other person on this planet. God said that it is "not right for man to be alone." I believe that every fiber of our being, every atom, was designed to love, adore, and praise God. To be with Him and belong to Him. And I also believe that we were designed to deeply connect with another soul on this earth, both physically and spiritually. To have a helpmate, a partner through life because it's not all fun and heavenly. God chose each and every one of us to serve a purpose and do a job He planned for us to do. Other than scriptures, I don't have medical or physical evidence of this but I know this relationship is to be between a man and a woman. There's a depthness, a true and pure relationship that is discovered between a man and his wife, the same sort of relationship the Bible says as between Jesus and the church (His bride). There is power in this relationship. It's important. It's a covenant, and God has always taken covenants very seriously. He doesn't just do things to do them, and He doesn't make rules just to make them. There's a reason. And 10 times out of 10 it's to prevent us from harm.
The world has watered down this image of "love", to the point where you can "fall in love" with anyone, marry them, and change your mind the next day and get divorced that quickly. Now they are saying you literally can fall in love with "anyone", same sex included. They are confusing the different levels of love, because they have lost the true, deep, meaningful love that is only found between a man and a woman seeking after God.
As for me, I have not found my deep relationship with my partner here on earth. I have had many deep, true relationships that have been friends, and many of them have disappointed me. But that's why we should not depend our feelings and emotional wellbeings on other people. People are people, no one is perfect, and a person will always at some point let you down.
but God never will.
Granted, I am only speaking from 21 years of experience, and some may say a significant lack of experience,
but I have seen a lot in the past year, and I understand way better than what I used to just what sin is, and the difference between the act of sin, committing a sin, and living in Sin.
One word. Doesn't mean the same thing. It has different dimensions and connotations.
and I would love to go back to the original Hebrew in the Bible, because i know they have many different words meaning the same thing, just having multi-faceted.
Like I said, I may have lack of experience and lack of age, but I do know I have found one thing: I have found a love that has never, in all my 21 years, let me down. I have found the one relationship that has stayed true and strong and pure, that has been right about everything and who has stuck with me through everything that I have gone through. Who always has the answers, and is never surprised or shocked or confused about anything that is going on because, He knows all and has seen the beginning and the end. He IS the beginning and the end.
I have found His love, and there's so much depth, and so much truth, and so much strength in it that I just have to delve as deeply as I can to better understand it.
i'm diving down into this rabbit hole of His, I don't know how far down it goes, but it the deeper I go, the more sure I am that He is who He says He is. you know how sometimes you first see something, and the more you get to know it the more you see it's not what you first thought? Or it starts to feel grimy, or icky, or not as pure and perfect as you first saw it?
That what everything has been in my life. Relationships, Disney, T.V. shows, stories, people, life.
But Jesus, the more I get to know his Love and Him, the more I can feel, the more I know that He is deep and pure and solid, good through and through. His love has depth, and I'm searching and feeling, and it hasn't started to feel grimey yet, and it has yet to not satisfy.
Granted, it has yet to COMPLETELY satisfy me, but there is nothing else I have found that even comes close to satisfying me as this love, this relationship, this person that is God, is.
