What is love? (Baby don't hurt me. :b)



Sadly, the true meaning of love has been consumed, chewed up, and spit back out by the world, giving us all such a distorted view of the truth behind the little word.

Here is the definition of love:

1.a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

3.to have a strong liking for; take great pleasure in.

4.to need or require; benefit greatly from.

Here is God's definition of Love:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

God created love to be such a beautiful thing, to be a beautiful representation of His love for Us. I mean, that is the Ultimate example. (Greater love hath no man than to lay down one's life for his friends.)
It really does break my heart to see teenagers throwing themselves away while chasing after the lusts of their flesh, chasing after the image of love this world has created. Let me tell you, it's a fraud.

I wanna give a shoutout to one of my bestfriends & she knows who she is. She has never had a boyfriend and never kissed one either, and I respect her so much for that. It's going to be beautiful to see her walk down the aisle someday and give herself to her husband, a beautiful, unwrapped package.
I just want to encourage you to think about Him, your future husband. Think about what you can do now to someday bring him the most honor and respect. Although, I want you first and foremost to think about what you are doing to honor our Father in Heaven. For, by honoring Him, you will also honor your future husband. Think about who you want to be standing at that altar.

Although, don't be discouraged. For, the past doesnt define who you are. So, if you have done things you aren't proud of, like myself, don't spend

another moment dwelling on your past and the guys

that may fill your memories. Free them and you

free yourselves. So, just look at the beautiful

 canvas and Be who you want to be. Be who God wants you to be: Pure and in love with Him, saving your heart for your husband. :)
