Friendship, Relationyacht, Same Thing...

I know alot of people who spend all their time looking for relationships, of the intimate kind, or however they go about showing affection, atleast whats legal in 50 states, I hope. Theres actually a really fine line between a friendship and a relationship, which is why so many people get into problems.

The divorce rate in America is 50%, 9/10 of all relationships don't last. But in all sincerity, if you don't know the difference between friendship and relationships, if you don't know what you want, the numbers are always going to be 100%. Always. Its not a matter of finding your other half, but of finding YOUR half. You honestly have to ask yourself who you are. Why would I be a partner and not just a friend? Why is this person perfect for me and noone else?

I can't answer that, you can't answer that, not even the person in question can answer that. God is the only person who can.

God promises only blessings for your troubles and your worries. You need to pray about these things. You need to tell Him, "Father, I've been feeling a little lonely in this world. If not because of our relationship, because I want someone on this earth to share your love with."

The Lord cares for you, he's loyal, and gives you nothing but love and has faith in you. That is both a friend and a partner. Use Him as your example. Be like Him and look for people like Him. The first step to that is turning in all those feelings of depression and loneliness, of those questions that worry and haunt you like "what if I never find someone?" or "will anyone ever truly love me?", and submit those feelings to God. Why? Because you know the answer to those questions. You know God is listening to your heart, and you know that he already truly loves you, so why would he let you down? By worrying, you become the only person able to let yourself down. You know what friendship is in God, so you know where to start looking for friends on this earth. Don't worry about looking so impatiently and desperately for someone to spend the rest of your life with, you already have God, just wait it out with him, and he won't disappoint you.

-God Bless You, and have great M(i)LK day.

[Since this subject is so broad and theres so much to say about it, I'm going to make a series of posts about it.]

Verse a Day, wondering how many more of these I can say!

(Proverbs 16: 9)
In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.
