Soooo, since I am now in bib lit, i have started remembering a few verses from the bible which interest me. This has been my favorite bible verse for I don't know how long...
"Love is patient;love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its on way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
It's really kind of funny how through all the things that go wrong in relationships, and how many bad things can occur with the opposite sex, there are still little things like this that just remind us of the people we love. I know this sounds really corny and cheesy. But I mean, I have never thought of the Bible of all things to have such an emphasis on love. I don't mean they way you love your mom or dog or sister. I mean the way you love a spouse or a boyfriend. you don't really think of the Bible giving you relationship advice. I really don't know why exactly I am talking about this. But nonetheless. I guess, I just look at some of the ways that some of my friends treat there relationships and the way I even treat it sometimes. I know couples that actually look for reasons to fight and argue. it's really just...disappointing. It's really dumb. i knwo couples that get so possesive about relationships that it's not about compassion anymore, it's about ownership. I really don't to become that. For example, at the party last night, i was really pissed off because i didn't get to have hardly any alone time with Pat and it just pissed me off.And i early this week I got really jealous because of the fact that Pat talks with some i am intimidated by so much. I am just now realizing how STUPID it was of me. I really love him, he really loves me and I should trust him and believe him. So I will. I think everyone just gets so caught up in the fact that someone might betray their trust that they start to expect it. And personally, i would rather be happy throughout a relationship and then be surprised by betrayl, rather than be unhappy and expect the worst and then get it. It makes sense to me.
