What is Love? Baby Don’t Hurt Me.

 To whom it may concern:

 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all tings. Love never fails…”

 

 

So I have been wondering for quite some time now. Is there truly one person set apart for us by God? A person that is His perfect will.. and those that are ok with God merely His permissive will? Such as… Two people are in love, they are both christians and are following the Lord. They pray about marriage, God says ‘no’. A year later, the man of the relationship meets a woman, falls in love (yes, she is a christian), God says ‘yes.’ That to me is proof right there that God has a set “One” for everyone.. but as I talk with others, I seem to be faced with disagreements about this subject time to time.. God has a plan for our lives, right? Our future is mapped out in His will, right? So that must mean, even our love life is planned and mapped.

 

While I believe all of this, it just makes everything so much harder. It’s like trying to find the one grey marble in a jar full of black marbles.. and what if I’m so stuck on someone being my one.. and then she isn’t? But say for some reason I can’t get past it; couldn’t that lead to me not even noticing the right one?

 

Am I maybe just over complicating all of this?

 

I decided that I’m not allowed to like people anymore. haha, yeah.. Or at least when I have a passing crush, I’m going to just keep it to myself.. as I tend to be fickle/wishy-washy.

I long for love, but I’m not desperate. To me, other than God, love is the greatest thing this life has to offer and without it, life would not be worth living.. so I guess I should be pretty thankful for my savior..
