The Song of Ascents 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121
in the light of all that has happened this week, I think I should remember what is most important in the end. in the end, love is not spending time together, buying new things for each other or having to account to the world for what's going on. love is patient, it is kind, it bears no grudges and keeps no record of wrongdoings. it does not envy, does not boast, does not anger easily and it is not self-seeking. it always protects, always hopes, always trusts and always perseveres. I know I talked about this before, but sometimes I just need to be reminded of what I should be looking to. sometimes it's easy to get carried away by what the world tells me my relationship should be like. but when push comes to shove, the thing is that we account to each other and to Him only for whatever goes on between us. so once for and all, I want to deal with the problem I have when it comes to having not enough time and not allow it to crop up every so often when we're going through a busy patch. I know that all the qualities of love doesn't come by human effort, it comes only when I allow Him to take over. so I wanna stop worrying about trying to fix things, fix dates, fix this. I want to hand it over to Him and trust. trust that He will help me have more patience, empathy and understanding. that with the passing of each day, we learn to become each other's emotional pillars, to learn to care, to learn to love. not in the selfish way that the world understands as love, but in the way it is in the Bible. where I can learn to put him first before myself. that I will learn not to look at others and to covet what they have, because everyone is unique and mine is special to me. though this week has been tough, both on the school front and on the emotional front, I know that this eventually will pass. what matters is how we deal with it. and right now, I'm dealing with it by remembering that love never despairs. real love hopes, trusts, protects and perseveres. and whenever it gets tough, I must go back to my basics again. not to get caught up in the emotions that try to bring me down, but know that I stand upon a rock with a person I love, a rock that stands firm in the face of all things. so no more emoing one corner, I'm getting up and moving on. to do my law stuff though sadly haha!
