love

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all thing. 1 cor 13:17
that's what a friend told me when i asked him what love was.
it made me think. Have i really been loving? Do i really "bear" and endure" all? maybe that's what was missing from my relationship with my younger sister. maybe that's what i needed. true, Godly love. love that bears all and endures all. love that chooses to believe all that is good, all that is true, and that hopes that the rest may someday change. that's what i have to do.
I guess Love is truly the answer. if i could do my life all over again, i think i'd not have done it the same way. i'd have been more patient, more enduring. maybe then i wouldn't be facing the backwash of all the things i did before, all the mistakes i made. But i can't go back, so i'll have to go forward and salvage all i can.
this is really really cool. God, thank you for talking to me. thank you. even though the context wasn't meant for THAT kind of love.
