“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” —I Corinthians 13:4-8a (NIV)
It's funny how we think we're in love when we get a new boyfriend/girlfriend that is better than our ex. Also coming from that relationship, we think that our knowledge in "relationships" is far more complex than what we use to know before that. But if you do not have a relationship with Christ or your relationship is weak, then you know nothing about love and relationships.
I remember the first time I had a boyfriend. I thought that it was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I put him first in everything! I didn't even know what I was doing. Honestly, it was not satisfying. I tried to do everything and to tell my self that this is good for me and I need the experience. But I was completely wrong. Right when I knew that there was more to this life, that was when God decided that it was the right time for Him to come in to my life and change me inside out!!
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:7-8
No wonder Elisa and Mrs. Mallard weren't happy, they didn't know true love.
