Love and relationships
Unrequited love
Feeling love for someone who does not feel the same way, and not knowing what to do with that feeling.
What the Bible can tell you
Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,
1 Corinthians 13:4
For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
Romans 8:38
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5
A human reading
Loving someone does not oblige them to love you back, and that hurts. The Bible does not speak of a love that demands, but of one that is patient and knows how to let go. Taking care of yourself in this process is also a form of love.
