If you ask a person to describe love, chances are they are going to give you a very romantic, very sweet reply. Even the bible has a lovely, poetic description of love, “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.
Janie’s Undying Quest for Love All human hearts, at their core, desire love. What this love comes to mean can differ from person to person. How one is brought up can greatly influence their view on what true love is and, for some, leave them without happiness. In Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie finds true love only when she lets go of what society is telling her to do. Although her Grandmother taught her that love is settling with a wealthy man, Janie does not give up on her vision of love.
There are many different definitions for it but I believe love is this: 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, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.
Compare & Contrast Paper Brooke Estes Liberty University Intro to Christian Counseling; CCOU 201 June 16th, 2013 Part I: Goal of Christian Counseling In a world filled with quick fixes for instant gratification or “happiness”, some individuals that seek a counselor’s help may do so out of wanting to feel good or to be “happy” at every waking moment of their life. As Dr. Crabb pointed out, “there is nothing wrong in wanting to be happy (Crabb, 1977, p. 20)”. But, the goal of a Christian Counselor should not be that of promoting their patients happiness. It’s quite likely, that simply feeling good is temporary, and may actually be a mask to cover up what is really lying under the person’s exterior. Our focus as believers, for ourselves, is to love and worship God, to uplift Him in everything we do, to glorify Him in our lives, to love those around us, to be a light in a dark world, and to share God’s love with everyone around us.
The savior was always obedient. He showed his love for the Lord by being obedient. Was he tempted? Yes. The master of deceit tempted him, but yet he was an example of obedience by refusing to deviate from what He knew was right.
He has a good relationship with anyone he meets. He does things that would make the person he is with very happy. He also plans those romantic evening with that person. Then being the middle child he thinks that his older brother gets all the glory and that his younger sister gets everything also. At times being a middle child, they feel that they get left out of many things.
Raymond found love in someone who never judged him on his past even though he was innocent and he gave life to a beautiful baby girl. Even though Raymond had been through so much in his life, it would be typical for him to return home bitter and angry, but he was full of joy and laughter. He overcame all of the obstacles that were brought his way. He is living proof that there is life after prison, especially when you’re innocent. I came up with this from a personal life experience.
I do not really like dating. I love the good relationships that I currently have with all of my friends; and I love my all of friends enough to not want to risk jeopardizing our current relationships by means of all of the stupid drama that comes along with dating. It is not close relationship part of dating that I really have a problem with; it is the fighting and the break-up part of dating that I hate. If there is a group of friends and two of them start going out and dating each other, there is nothing wrong. The other kids in the group of friends think it is cute, and just seeing the new couple so happy together makes the whole group just as happy for them.
With shows and movies like Juno, The Secret Life of an American Teenager shows that being pregnant at a young age is no big deal and even cool. In these things they do make it clear that it is stressful but they don't really address why, they don't show you that it would be extremely difficult to raise a child and they don't make it clear that your whole life would actually be ruined. With celebrity teens getting pregnant it shows that it must be cool to get pregnant at a young age therefore it must be cool to have sex at a young age since all these teen icons are doing it. When in reality we should be looking down on these "teen icons" rather than looking up at them. They have made bad decisions in their life and they are getting publicity out of it.
Their relationship paved the way for me when it came to dating and beyond. Both my parents were virgins when they got married and I have always appreciated that in a sentimental way. By today’s standards, one could consider themselves extremely lucky to find a mate with less than 5 previous intimate relationships and even more-so to find a virgin. Because my parents were each other’s first I believe this had a positive influence on how, when and who I dated. One of my faults growing up and still to this day is being a bit too observant.
