Love hurts.
It is not something you think about when you fall in love.
or have a baby.
or watch your babies grow up
and fall in love
and get hurt.
my heart hurts for her.
my babii girl that has purely given of herself
to someone that is not mature enough to understand what it means to love.
for…….
love is patient
love is kind
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Love never fails……
I dedicate this to my babii girl……my girl that displays love at its fullest….she does not just say “I love you.”…she walks it out.
She is my hero.
Wow, I’m not sure what this is all about but it’s powerful, and from a Mom’s heart which I do understand. It’s compelled me to pray…blessings sister!
GG
I am desperate for that.
she is.
my heart is aching so much for her.
Oh friend, your comment came at such a perfect time.
I am reminded through you that He is still on the throne.
thank you so much…..
I have a daughter that is a bit lost right now to. I praise Him for His faithfulness, and I happen to know that you are His favorite! Take heart…our dear daughters are simply living their testimonies and it will be powerful for His kingdom when they return. Our job is to pray without ceasing. The enemy is defeated, our God is alive. It will be a day of rejoicing to see how strong our girls are one day. Be blessed…
thank you so much friend. you are a messenger to me, reminding me….standing by my side.
It is so hard seeing them working out their own faith.
You are so right…we are to pray w/o ceasing…..
It is interesting to me that these little babes He brought through us make us cling more so to Him.
your words are truly a comfort to me.
thank you……
Love is also learned. When I was first married, love meant something a bit different than it does now. Love does mean all of those things but they come bit by bit. Love is patient but I had to have 5 children to learn that one. Love is kind but I had to see gross unkindness to learn that one. Love never fails and that gives me hope to press forward in faith.
Hey, Storie.
My guy is experiencing his first love and is sure she will be his only one. I don’t think she feels the same. It’s been so hard to watch his heart break as she has played with it.
These times certainly keep me praying.
Jac
Thank you so much for your words here.
so much truth resonates from your experience.
I just love you…
Storie
Michelle
Yes. I have felt the same way. it keeps me clinging to him, keeps me in prayer. and THAT, we can do for one another.
hugs,
Storie
I hope your daughter, and you through her, get lucky and doesn’t have to experience the heart break that love can be. That’s something we all have to find out for ourselves.
At least you know that faith will always be there, for her, as it is for you.
Ed, I have wished that so many times. My heart literally feels like it is breaking too…it is a wierd thing to feel so strongly on another person’s behalf….to see them being taken advantage of. to experience her making choices that I would not make for her. Like I said in my post…..she is a treasure. a pure gem..
yes….I do believe that all things will work together for her best.
it still hurts.
Count us all in. At least once.
How else would we know it’s true…?
Hi!
ABSOLUTELY NO disrespect intended to you or your experience/awareness/understanding…
but LOVE never hurts!
Holding on to something and not having strong enough faith in Love is what really hurts us.
Love surrounds us totally – but lets us go our own way in complete Faith also!
Love KNOWS nothing ever seperates IT from ‘us’ or us from IT.
Sometimes we don’t fully or always get that.
Of course.. i mean REAL love here – the kind we COULD have… the kind He shows us… but we generally settle for ‘less’… we make it a human love – full of insecurities and fragile to the point where it ‘breaks’ and breaks our hardened hearts.
i doubt it will ‘help’ you much – being a mom is never an easy task in this world… but you do know that we are all here to experience for ourselves the many aspects of what God is and the best way to know something fully is to also see what it is not – right?
Without Darkness we would have no ‘clear’ idea of what the light IS.
There are always His hands to keep what is most precious about your baby girl safely in His Care.
Remember – what hapens HERE is ONLY temporary!!!
There is far more ‘to come’.
love

P.S. 1 Cor 13:4-7 as you quoted above – is my Creed!
Thank you for helping spread the Word!

Nor~ that’s right:-)
Love~
Thank you so much for your insight. I absolutely agree with you.
What I should have said is, “loving can hurt.”
Because we are in bodies of flesh, working out our salvation, we may often experience the the emotions and disappointments tied to truly loving others. Because our flesh may have to die!
Often, when someone I love is huriting, I feel with them.
Ultimately if we were trusting in Christ perfectly, we would not feel anything but peace and hope.
In this sitation with my daughter, I guess I emphathized with her….and then said to her, “But God….”
Thank you for your thoughts here! I appreciate them!
:–)
Love~
I have taken my daughter to this very passage (1 Cor 13:4-7) this past season to remind her of what love is, and what love is not.
What a great comfort.
Thanks Love!
and Thank YOU…not the least for knowing just ‘where’ to take her.
now i hope you remember also, He cares for you and does not want your heart to ‘break’?
love Hopeth all things, love Beareth all things, love Believeth in all things (are possible), love Endureth all things
Love is sometimes HARD for us to know/understand/do.. but it is never ever ‘beyond’ us, beyond what we are capable of ourselves, if we have Faith in what is right
and just for fun…. If Love Hurts.. you’re not doing it right!
