I AM NOT IN LOVE WITH EDWARD
Yes, I am talking about the sweet talking, blood sucking, piano playing vampire from Twilight, Edward.
I am not in love with him, which appears to make me stand out against millions of girls around the world. And this is a fact that concerns me.
Yes, he's hot. We get it. He's hot, and he's utterly and irreversibly in love with Bella. But is love enough? I say no. I have nothing against love, and passionate love at that, but when it becomes an excuse for inexcusable behaviour there is a problem. He is controlling beyond reason. He tells her what to do, where she can go, and who she can be friends with. And because she loves him, she lets him control her. He even kidnaps her a couple of times, forcing her to be where he thinks she ought to be. All under the guise of keeping her safe. I do not doubt the lovely motives, but does that really make it ok? I say absolutely not!
This perfect ideal of Edward sets up a whole generation of young girls to get in abusive, controlling relationships. If he loves me, it's ok. He controls me because he cares. Then it's a slippery slope, from control to abuse. I'm not saying all controlling guys end up abusing their girlfriends/wives, but it lends itself to going in that direction.
Yes Edward never hurts her physically, but does that make it ok? Not in my book. Not that I have a book... you get my point though.
Love is not an excuse for poor behaviour. Controlling relationships are not ok and should not be set up as an over-romanticised ideal. Bella constantly gets mad at Edward, then forgives him as soon as she sees him coz he's so hot and she loves him! That is not ok! Girls need to be taught to respect themselves and expect men to respect them too, not offer up excuses for why they are not being respected.

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Memory Verse 19/3
Seeing as we forgot to give you a new memory verse last time we met, here it is:

And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Get memorising!
