Where do I stand? Where am I located under to do, at this moment?
I feel so lost, but having a spiritual brother guiding me, makes everything seem easier than it really is. To have a special bond with someone dear to you shows what? It shows that, that bond you have is one thing you love and yearn to keep when time passes. Everyone argues and fights, but is it worth throwing it all away because of one argument that may seem to be a lot? To have love between family members does not mean that everyone has to constantly be perfect, are we perfect? no. we're human. we fight and fight yet we still love each other in the end. There are time where I am frustrated to a point where i don't know what to do. I then realize that i do not only want to be alone, but i realize that i can't live without him or her. I would love to live separately but nothing can separate the bond that is shared.
What does it mean to love?
1 Corinthians 13:4 ; "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
God is love. Love does not take only one person, but three.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
