The love God intended for all of us to have.

Every single Friday, God shows me what He intended love and marriage to be. Every single Friday, around 1:45PM, a Korean man around 70 years old walks his semi paralyzed wife who also has one of her legs amputated. When I first saw them, I was taken by surprise because Korea tends to hide any type of imperfections and for someone to publicly claim that they are somehow connected to someone who is not "perfect" is so rare here. Each time I see them,  I see her struggling with all her might trying to walk with him. He walks with patience and lets her lean on him for support while he holds her hand. It is one of the most moving things I have ever seen in my life. Not because it is happening in Korea, but because I know that THIS is what God intended love should be...you know, the "for better or for worse" part of the marriage vow that a lot of people seem to forget nowadays. We all be so lucky to find someone who will be there for us no matter what...Vows are spoken by many new marriages every single day, but it's sad that only a few of us have witnessed that kind of love being displayed. I want THAT kind of love. The kind of love God wants for all of His children. We already have that love from our heavenly Father, but I also want THAT kind of love from someone who is a flawed human being because he cares for me that much.
 I think it's the happily ever after that the Disney movies have omitted, but insinuate (hopefully anyways) when they it says "...happily ever after" .  However I do think that we always expect to perhaps struggle in the beginning, but we tend to forget that life is full of obstacles that God has put in our path with full intentions to make us stronger and not break us. Girls, we may find our prince but that doesn't mean it will always be happily ever after even if you both turn out to be perfect. Things beyond our control will always appear to be block that unreachable "...happily ever after", but that is when we should lean on God and people who love us. Just like how the paralyzed woman leans on her husband to help her walk. They do not just "walk" on Fridays together, they are walking and leaning on each other every single day. She helps him just as he helps her, he can't imagine what life would be like without her by his side. Otherwise, why would he be so committed to her?

If you are reading this, whoever you are, I hope that you have this kind of love. If you haven't found it yet, then I hope that you will/it will find you someday. I hope that you will experience the kind of love that never ceases..the kind of love that doesn't give up...doesn't lose hope. That 'lean on each other, hold a radio over my head,  made to be with you, for better or for worse, be silly together, I had it all but I needed you instead' kind of love.

"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, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
