Daily Scripture: Abandon Me Not

They say you find out who your true friends are when you’re down to nothing, that those who aren’t truly your friend are there when everything is great but they abandon you once the going gets tough.  But I know of one TRUE friend that we all have that will not abandon us ever.  Regardless of what you are going through in life, whether you are at the top of the world or in the pits of the lowest valley, God will be right there with you.  Even when you turn your back on God, He waits patiently for us to return back to Him, to trust Him and obey Him so that He can fulfill everything He has promised for your life.  God is a loving God, a faithful God, and a friend like no other.  When you feel like you have no one, when you feel like some of the people you considered your fiend is now nowhere to be found and sometimes are out to destroy you, when it seems like you are in the valleys of life alone, remember you are not alone.  God is right there with you , will always be there with you and He will never abandon you!!!

³⁰ When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him. ³¹ For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.~Deuteronomy 4:30-31

Is Romance Dead?

Lately I have been seeing a lot of post on various social media sites about the struggles of dating, how some people's view points on what on considers a good date or not a good date is acceptable or unacceptable, which led to my question of "Is Romance Dead?"
My guy friend and I were having a discussion about what would be considered an appropriate date, and me being the extra creative person that I am, I felt that a movie date just wouldn't cut it. Movie dates in my mind are something you do once you're comfortable, there's no thought process behind it, there's nothing special in saying "Hey, tonight we're going to the movies."

What is Love?

Webster defines love as an intense feeling of deep affection, a person or thing that one loves, and to feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone).  The Bible in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 states it like this "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, 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."
