"I'll be here for you."

I often see this phrase, "I'll be here for you", everywhere. It gets tossed around in multiple relationships and I feel like it's just a reassurance of accountability. But, do you say it? I know I do. I sometimes just say it to make someone feel like they're loved. To my close friends, i always say it because it's true. I'll never leave their side no matter how much pain, drama, stupidity, judgement that they've been through.

Do you actually mean it when you say it or do you just say it just cuz. Accountability is key in every relationship. As I'm helping my friend go through their problem i feel like i have the responsibility of sticking by their side no matter what happens to them.

Some relationships may end horrifically and those words will soon mean nothing. But look on the bright side, simply look up. God's always there for you. He'll keep his word when he says those words. It may sometimes feel like he's not there but if you take a step back, he is. He'll never leave your side. No matter how many things we've done wrong, no matter how many times we might have said something that dishonors him, he'll still be there. He won't judge you because he made you perfectly.

Brother In Christ.

Through all this pain, drama, laughs, cries. I finally realized one thing. I don't need this boy to be in my life so that I can love him for more than a friend.

Today i realized after this long journey i just need another brother to stick with me, through thick and thin. It took so long for me to finally realize that i shouldn't like this guy for more than a friend. I'm proud to say that he's my brother in Christ. He's stuck by me through my rants, hits, laughs, and just about everything in between.

I still don't remember when we first met but that's not really important. The thing is, I've always treated him for more than a friend. I feel like i did this because i just needed someone there to fill that hole in my heart.

I learned that when a guy treats you well it's not always cuz he likes you for more than a friend but it's cuz he wants to treasure the relationship that he has with you.

Look Inside.

God does many amazing things.
Take a fruit for example. Take a look at the outside of it. and once you peel it it's like a whole new world. Like a banana, at first it's green, then yellow, then once it's peeled it's white. When you first saw a banana did you ever expect it to be white inside? To be honest, I didn't. Then we take a taste of it. It's a burst of flavour in your mouth.
We often see what we see on the outside then once we see what's inside it's so much more different.

It's like God. Do you ever wonder what God really is on the inside? Does God seen to be all wrapped up in mystery?
Taste and see that the Lord is good. God invites you to go beyond the cover of the Bible to discover amazing love, amazing history, amazing poetry, amazing stories, amazing drama, and amazing humor. God invites us to peel back the layer of each page and discover how amazing the love of God can me.

Psalm 34:8

Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Take the Bible. Open it. Taste it. See it. Pray.
