I have been thinking recently of the language of love, I think that it is truly a selfish language. It is based on I find this person attractive, I love them, I like this about them. I like it when them do this etc...

I found it funny that in love something which is about loving other people and about sharing yourself with them our whole vocab that we associate with it is entirely selfish. In some ways this is weird but I guess that In every relationship we have to have decided that yes I do love this person and out of that personal expression have our unselfish response of love which is all about caring for and serving the other person.

In life we all take journeys and there are things that take us there just like this boat. There is always places to go and challenges to us in getting there. I guess in every journey there are hard patches, I guess I feel like I have hit one of those at the moment. Where the challenges in going forward seem to be bigger than my ability to get through them.

But that is normally for us to come to a place of feeling out gunned by life, at times like this we just need to take comfort in Jesus and his ablilty to hold us and to take care of us. I know that for me to get through I will need the support of friends and the grace and Love that can only be found in Jesus. So Lord in this time of trials and troubles will you find me and love me and pour out your strength and power into my weakness.
