Relationships are the most difficult thing we have to deal with in my opinion. Relationships with God, parents, siblings, friends, and significant others (married, dating, or crush) can be so time consuming, rewarding, and sometimes hurtful. Why do we take the risk of letting someone love us? Why do we take the risk of loving someone else? I would say that keeping up a good healthy relationship with anyone is difficult. We are all broken and it seems that mixing broken things with more broken things would be a bad idea. Well, I think it is. That's why we need God in all of our relationships. He is love. And He is the glue that holds us all together. No matter how much of a yard sale (mess) we are.
Here are a few of my favorite bible verses on love and friendship.
I get a lot out of these verses every time I read them so maybe they will do the same for you.
- Colossians 3:14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity
- 1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
- 1 John 4:8
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
- 1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love
