If only ...Of course I Corinthians 13 comes to mind. If only we all (men/women alike) could love like that. Just think about it. You choose the object of your love and you love him/her to the point you can lay down your life for that person. Nothing can sway your determination... Can you imagine that kind of determination and tenacity in loving someone?<BR/><BR/>Sin and selfishness are the cause why men and women can't love each other with the same love God loves us. <BR/><BR/>But then again... David had a harem... and God said it was a blessing from Him.

However, in Song of Solomon 2:7 it says, "Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." I think that the sources that you mentioned above contribute to impatience and unrealistic expectations. But if a person is waiting on the Lord, this helps him/her to focus expectations and to be ready at just the right time.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-63987358530800746462009-02-16T22:10:00.000+03:002009-02-16T22:10:00.000+03:00It would be interesting to see how it feels to be ...It would be interesting to see how it feels to be single if you are away from movies, fiction, gossip, retailers and all the sources that tell us we are supposed to be anything but single. It's possible to find someone who is single and waiting, but it might be a tall order to find someone who is actually happy to be single but also ready to be in a relationshipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-47388296531375228592009-02-16T08:47:00.000+03:002009-02-16T08:47:00.000+03:00That's a very good tip, Karen!
