ehh. ; / if this is love.. then its no wonder we’re disappointed. You know i’ve come to realize and depend on a love so great it cant even be explained, maybe just maybe, this is whyy this explanation is so so.. OFF! I mean if i tried to explain love it’d be something like.. love.. its amazing .. or something or other (rambaling on & on about how great it is how it makes you feel inside.. by this time i’m done the other person is like oh..okay.[thinking suuuure! you so know..?]) We are easily deceived you know? Our hearts are so easily entangled by lies.. and our hearts they dont know better, they just cling to whatever is thrown their way. - hay i love you… your great.. your my friend & i love you.. ill always be there for you.. your amazing.. i’ve never loved someone like you.. i’ve never known anyone like you.. i love you sister.. i love you brother.. friend.. wife..husband… okay maybe i dont know anything maybe love is everywhere but i think now more than ever we deceive ourselves. We compare and examine each other rating one by the other.. – well she doesnt love like i love… well i do more.. well i do this .. i do that.. huh. funny, that you say that. i i i i i i i .. ?

 I feel so inadequate sometimes (see i say i too..) like i dont love enough or at all… like i’m dry and cant give much.  But you know what.. thats okay. Because i cant love perfectly and i cant guarantee you happiness, joy, or anything at that. I’m human, if you hadn’t noticed.. and so are you.. world,  i’m not speaking to someone specifically i noticed it kinda sounded like that.. this is a general blog to myself and anyone willing to read. I’ve noticed i’m a crowd pleaser.. i try to love until i cant love anymore. In my mind i think “But what will they think of me.. but what will they say.. what will i look like..” Our everyday decisions are run by our mind that never stops.. by the deceptions of the enemy, he’ll say anything to make you think twice.  So maybe i dont love as i should and i wont please everyone in the room. All i know is i can sure try and ill love to my capacity, the capacity of a yae high twenty year old girl. My body is tired, my spirit is weak, my emotions are low, my mind its weak.. this flesh of mine it gives in easily. So when i have nothing else to give when i’m running on empty, when i’m running on fumes.. when all i can do is give up, i’ll rely on the one true love that never lets me down that never gives up that is never weak that never gives in that never runs on empty. I’ll rely on my Jesus yes.. my Jesus. Because not matter what my weak heart says no matter what lies it believes, atleast my heart knows one truth that overshadows the fears and pains, his love. His perfect love that I cant explain, that lets me love just a little. Its no wonder love cant be explained. Our love it doesnt love much compared to his. I’ve found a pretty good close to perfect explanation though.. you’ve heard it a million times.. but whyy dont you really read it..

1 Corinthians 13

Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.  4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

All i know is nothing, i’m like a child let me learn. So lets strive for that love.. because i’m sure not patient.. or kind at that, i can be kinda sarcastic. i’m envious.. i’m a little jealous, boastful at times.. yes i’ll answer the age old question i’m vain, i admit. i’m conceited, i can be rude, i always insist on my way being right.  i’m resentful, self-seeking, i dont bear much… and those are only a few. So yes i’m not perfect but you know what my God is made perfect through my weakness.  My God he loves perfectly, and thats enough for me.

 2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
