Song of songs

if one looks upon what many may consider the last part of the bible to read through to find wisdom and stuff,

-

song of songs(2:7b, 3:5b 8:4b) all say the same thing... the "beloved" says:

-

"... do not stir up or awaken love until it is ready"

-

---

you look around... see so many jump into a r/s without a second glance, and falling, and hurting oneself... ...

-

you realise, at this age, there is still a lot to know about the people around you, to know about yourself

-

and also, the fact that not everyone at this age would be emotionaly stable/mature enough to be able to handle one

-

and we do need to know, the difference between infatuation and Love..... infatuation desires immediate gratification, it looks only at the outside beauty,

-

Love is not impatient, it can wait till the right time and all... and Love doesnt merely look at the outside, it looks at the person as a whole, the imperfections and all, and yet it still loves

(you can blame all the books about love I've been flooded with last year by Charles and Tim)

-

Guys are told to be able to emulate Christ love for the church, after all the end sum of r/s shd be a marriage of sort, after all , so in a sense, unless the guy is willing to do so, and not go in for it just for the sake of satisfying the primal emotions that come in, he is not ready for one, if he isnt prepared to love the person for the imperfections and all

haha but the thing with us people is that we now only see the short term happiness 

we dont really think that there will be hurt
what ... ... most of the people see in a r/s is that there will be happiness
and we'll be happier than we are now

-
and yet why dont we look to Him, who can give us more than happiness, who can give us everlasting joy, who can satisfy every need we have...

-

yet while in following Him, there are ups and downs, sorrows and joys, 

yet we know, that there is no one that can ever give the love that He's shown

---

maybe... I shd take steps to mend and patch up stuff again... in the sense... I dont really have a sort of "hidden agenda", yes I still have those emotional attachments, but at the moment, for a long time, its better to not do anything about it.... not when I'm not really ready in the first place... whether it be for anybody in particular 

-

just... be friends, the resolution I made so long ago...

-

and yet perhaps, I don't really want to be the person who makes a proactive step to mend stuff... after all the last time it wasnt me after all... perhaps give it more time, and trust God to provide...

hmm

FireAC today.. sitting next to fab (Tim you poot... rarrr you and your funny comments)

-

there are certain things I feel convicted to share about, the glory of the Lord... and the holiness it requires, if we desire to see His glory, we need to be Holy... before Him...

-

fix Our eyes upon Him... Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith
