There is a verse in the bible that I really like and its hanging on the wall in my bathroom that I view every morning. 1 Corinthians 13:13," Now these things remain,Hope, Faith and Love". "But the greatest of these is Love". This verse is very important to me, because it tells me what our Father in heaven felt about love and his love for us. Being a person of faith and understanding it help me realize a few facts when it comes to loving someone. A lot of us want things to be perfect and in this age of instant messages, computers, apps or television and most people seem to live by the way of the world. What do I mean by that? Well everyone is watching T.V. on social media and getting advice from friends on how to raise children. Without, looking at the real source the bible to get their advice.
It took me a while to understand what love really meant and I know that there are millions of people that really don't understand the meaning of the word called love. I did a little research then read the bible and got an understanding from God to what love really is and how God wants us to .
Love is patience and kind without combining the both you can't possibly love a person right. Because there will be ups and downs. There will be times that the person you love disappoints you, hurts you, lies to you and does things you do not like. That's where the patience and understanding comes from. From my reading of the bible, my understanding was that God knew we were sinners and despite our sins he had enough love , patience and understanding to give us a chance at going to heaven. Because its not what you are now that counts its what you may become in the future. That's why when you love someone you have to have all these qualities to raise your children and to have a successful marriage.
You can not have a successful marriage and have raised great children over night, those things take times. Everyone wants to be happy right now, they want their mate and children to be perfect. Without realizing we live in a imperfect world and most things take time. Rome was not built in a day, the world was created in 7 days and great civilizations take life times to build.
If you really love the person, your children and your mate. Then you have to have patience and understanding. Patience to let them learn and grow. Understanding to let them grow at their own pace and to let them also learn to grow up as children to become responsible adults. Also have understanding as a husband or a wife to know that it takes time to have a good marriage. Sometimes its takes 5 years and most of the time it takes longer. Most successful marriages , the one that have lasted over 15 years, from my talks with those people who have been married that long, it took about 7 years before they got a clear understanding on what each other wanted and needed from each other.
But if you really love your mate, your children and your friends. You will have patience with them, then you will have understanding and then the forgiveness in your heart to know that they are only growing in to the person that the were meant to be in the future. If you have children and you want them to be successful, know this one day they will be what you hoped they will be. Just forgive them for their sins, because as Jesus said forgive them father because they know not what they do. If you taught them well, loved them, provided for them and understood your children. Then you would know in time they will be successful adults . If you have a husband or a wife, please be forgiving, understanding and patient. Because in time they will become great husbands and great wives. They do not know you and you do not know them. But in time you both will grow together, have the same habits, same ideals, be on one accord, equally yoked and have a wonderful marriage. If you have the understanding that its takes time and anything worth having is worth fighting for. Try it Gods way and the you will truly know what, Love Is!
Have a blessed night,
Charles
1 Corinthians 13:3-5 Love
…3 If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.…
