Love Never Fears

"There is no Fear in Love. But perfect Love Drives out Fear, because Fear has to do with punishment. The one who Fears is not made perfect in Love." 1 John 4:18
1 John is the proof that we aren't supposed to fear love ever. How will we ever know love if we don't fully submit to it? Like 1 John 4:18 says when we fear love we punish ourselves. We punish ourselves from feeling a wonderful feeling and all that love endeavors. Now I'm sure we've heard the saying that Love is when you give someone the power to break you but having trust in them that they wont. This is true. Our fears tells us this person may do us wrong but its in us to trust them without a shadow beyond a doubt that they wont even think about doing it. One day when I was in Sunday Church the youth pastor was telling some of the teens in there about getting to know the true Love of God. He explained to them that once you know the true Love of God you will know how to love others. He went onto explain that when we have feelings for a person, our feelings dont ask us for permission if they should fall for that person, no our feelings just go with the flow and get sooo out of control. We love someone soooo much, do anything and everything for them and its probably not equal on their behalf for us in return. You can never be in love with someone and its not equal, thinking you can change that no it's going to always be unequal. Learning the true Love of God will show you how much he loves you so you can know your self worth and then you will learn how to love someone else the right way, the same way God loves you. When we mess up and sin so much then ask God for forgivness, he doesn't turn his back on us, no he's right there through it all. So why do we do this in relationships? Put ourselves into a relationship halfway, not all the way then when the other does something to hurt us we pull back little by little because we are scared to submit and we are afraid that we will lose ourselves in this love. Well thats not Love. Love doesnt pull back then pushes foward, if you do this you'll never have a healthy relationship. We will never know love unless we submit to it just like we will never know God unless we submit to him!!!

Self Love Equals Learning to Love Others

~LOVE IS PATIENT~

Have you ever liked someone so much you'd do anything to get their attention? You lose yourself and become someone else, a person that that girl/boy likes just to please them. Or you find yourself waiting and waiting for that person and letting other candidates who are probably a match for you slip right on by, but you dont notice because your heart is focused on that one person. This is a BAD THING TO DO. I know from personal experience. My heart is attached to my best friend. He's always been there for me no matter what, very LOYAL. Now as a female I like to read into things (i'm sure all females have done that once in their life) thinking that his actions mean something more than what they are but I've come to realize that these actions are just what they are...a friend being a true friend. It's bad to read and read into things because then you begin to expect and when you dont get those expectations met, its a huge disappointment. So if you've ever done this or you're doing it now STOP IT. Take time to focus on yourself and dont focus on this person so much because nine times out of ten you arent always on their mind that much. If it's meant to happen it eventually will but dont rush it. Love is patient so if you try to rush it, it won't happen the way you thought it would because life is very unexpected.

Life is about love, living and a lot of caring. I hope you enjoyed this blog as much as I enjoyed sharing!!!
