The one I watched with a girlfriend was on "Love". Her take was that with loving someone ALWAYS comes the possibility of rejection. And when we are rejected we do one of two things: we either become bitter and angry and fight back, or somehow we make even more of an effort to get close to the source of our rejection, perhaps so in some way (large or small) we can return the pain of the rejection. <br><br>Seems like such a horrible cycle, so far from the way God intended. But I think the point was, regardless of the fact we may be rejected, we must choose to love anyway. Because that's what also makes love beautiful - the fact that it IS a choice, in spite of the possibility of rejection. Forgiveness, by the power of God, is also such a huge part of being able to love freely. I know I'm paraphrasing so much of what she said and after all this, I'm not sure if I even answered your question, but those are my thoughts :)Prairie Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05383116242097899456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449551179146558035.post-90507882076350061972010-02-01T13:21:56.829-07:002010-02-01T13:21:56.829-07:00Thank you so much.

WHO DOES GOD SAY YOU ARE?).<br />i'm learning to walk away from those lies. learning to believe who God says i am.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240575765252692365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5449551179146558035.post-10024297271678192682009-09-17T19:56:59.088-06:002009-09-17T19:56:59.088-06:00I recently watched a video by Beth Moore (LOVE HER...I recently watched a video by Beth Moore (LOVE HER!) and it was on the fruit of the Spirit.
