without trust, there can be no love...jealousy will lead to madness...
These words are part of the script from the Moulin Rouge. Sometimes I feel that way towards someone. I'm sorry I do. I wish it wasnt like this or rather I wish I wouldnt feel that way.
There is a verse I hope to learn more about. I was reminded by my brother Lyle in Colossians 3:12-14.
" And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy, and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a compliant against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity."
I lack all these virtues. (well, maybe except kindness). Some in a more increasing scale than others, such as gentleness and patience. But I dont want to miss out on the main conclusion for why Paul writes these words of wisdom. Its about redemption and the wrath of God. Even further, these words are for us to draw near to HIM and for us to help draw others to HIM from our testimony of our lives.
I wish I was there for his insights on what God has to say through these things (For those back home, go into Sunday School to be teached and blessed by one of the best teachers at CCMC. Really! Go and be blessed and have that same attitude every time you go there.)
