I hate when people get offended when I'm talking about matters of religion because the moment someone gets offended, a wall goes up in their mind, so that they are no longer able to mentally or emotionally process what it is you are trying to show them. My motivation is good but my purpose is lost. I don't want to offend. I want people to put their emotions aside and think about what I am saying, to be able to assess without their emotions getting involved, weather or not what I'm saying is worth serious consideration when searching out the truth. Only if the walls come down, then we can really be ready to hear the truth.

Even Satan, the father of lies, tells the truth when it is convenient for him. But his truth is always a partial truth or a truth mixed with a lie. He is more manipulative than you ever dreamed of being. His lies have been a part of our consciousness in ways that we can't even begin to uncover sense the very beginning of man. Our understanding is darkened by sin and in that darkness, Satan is there telling you that you are in the light, or that there is no light to be found and no hope, or that there is light but you can never walk in it because you will never be good enough, or there is neither light nor darkness, or you are your own light and your own darkness. And the light is whatever you want it to be. Unless God comes and lifts the vale from our eyes in his grace and mercy and shines his light and his truth into out hearts, we don't stand a chance of finding the truth.

You realize how much God loves you when someone comes into your life that is hard to love and you feel how hard it is to be patient with them. Then you remember how patient God is with you. God will bring people into your life to show you how amazing his love is and how you can't love anyone the way that he loves you except through him. But because the sin nature still gets in the way sometimes, we know that the only perfect love is God. Truly, you don't realize how amazing his love is until he asks you to try to love someone else the same way that he loves you.

Love is about finding someone that you love not for any reason other than the fact that you love them. If there is a reason to it, it is not true love because reasons can run out. People change. But the real love that lasts forever is that love you can't explain.

It is more of a blessing to love someone who doesn't love me than to be loved by someone that I don't love. To love another is the best feeling in the world. There is no replacement.

To love another is the best feeling in the world. There is no replacement for that. You can be desired by millions and still feel empty inside. But if you care for one person deeply and passionately, your heart is not such a cold and lonely place, even if they don't love you back. Loving doesn't hurt. The need to be loved, that is what hurts. Always focus on how much you care for them and not how much you wish they would care for you. Forgive them if they hurt you and your heart will be strong.

Don't dabble with me in love because what means nothing to you means everything to me. I can understand someone who makes mistakes, gets angry and needs a little time to see the error of their ways, because at least if they are angry at something then that means they are taking it seriously. But woe to him who plays around with something as sacred as love, having no intentions of putting in the effort it requires to sustain it and deceives the one whose devotion he has awakened.

I'm worthless. Sorry. I forgot.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God, for Christ's sake has forgiven you.
Ephesians 5:32
