Why does everything have to be analyzed and disected until you're positive that you're doing it, living it, feeling it, thinking it, exactly the way God wanted you/us to? God didn't invent love .. he invented people with the ability to feel and think and act and make choices. It is up to us to live out our own lives and feel things the way we want to feel them. If everyone thought, felt, did, said, etc etc exactly like everyone else then we would be at a standstill in society. If you are going to analyze what God wants love to look like, then we could also wonder what he wants stress and frustration to feel like. More things that have been brought into society and are in place to keep us healthy, alive, rejuvinated and normal even though they may not make us feel great for a period of time. I can imagine that God, or any higher power would not want anyone to be getting stressed or frustrated over things such as love.

Tracy. Such a good blog! I have totally been thinking about this exact thing. How do I know God loves me, how do I know I love God? And especially, in my case, how do I honour my parents? What the heck? What is honour? You last paragraph is my favourite. I thought of quoting one of the lines in there, but I realize I loe all of it. Well done, Tracy. Great BLOG! I've even been reading 1 Cor. 13, too! I'm trying to figure out what love is as I work on my new living situation. What is the difference between a "comfortable favourable habit" and "self-sacrificial love"? What does it look like to love someone the way they need to be loved? I'm also reading The Five Love Languages, which recently made me through it across the room, but sadly, it's rather wise psychology so... I'll try to get it done (and picked up from across the room) before I see you next. ;) Oooooh. Tracy. Such a good blog! I have totally been thinking about this exact thing.
