Love cont.

I apologize for my blog yesterday. I had a really good post planned on in my head. However when I begin to think of my grandpa it still gets to me. He was the best grandpa in the world. He loved all his grandkids, even if he was tougher on the boys than he was on the girls.

As far as what love is, the Bible defines it the best. "Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. " 1 Corinthians 13 This is the shortened version. I encourage anyone to look it up if they have questions on what love is.

I measure all of my relationships to this standard. If there is any part of the relationshop that does not match up I know it is not going to work. This verse is beautiful.

I found at a very young age that the Bible is a good book to live by. There is a lot of beautiful writings in that book. I have yet to discover half of the wonders of the Bible.

I feel as though I should be able to navigate the Bible easier than I can. It is a book that I have read through all my life.

This one book is my foundation. It is a book that will never expire. It is a book that is constantly being researched. New things are constantly discovered about Jesus.
I have a cousin who insists that the Bible should be placed in the fiction section of a book store/library. She insisted that there is no proof that the events in the Bible ever occured. Friends of mine attacked her. There has been proof that Jesus walked the Earth. There is geological proof of where he lived being that the places are still around today.

I am sorry I got off of track.

To sum up my feelings in love I rely on the Bible to define it for me. The most solid foundation of a relationship is a relationship based around Christ. To base a relationship on 1 Corinthians 13 makes for a solid relationship. It is a relationship that will last.

I have never based my relationships around sex. I will get to know someone well enough to trust them before I will even begin to think about taking that step.

Sex is very important to me. I do not take it lightly. I admit I enjoy that special connection with someone but it has to be someone that is special to me. To me, sex is someone that two people who care about each other care.

I do not expect everyone to agree with me. I do not expect everyone to follow the same guidelines I do when it comes to defining love. However I do expect the person I am in a relationship to understand where I am coming from. I expect him to always be on the same page with me. I expect us to be in sync with each others feelings.
