1 Corinthians 13:4-6 -- Love is patient; love is kind. Love does not envy;
    is not boastful; is not conceited;
    does not act improperly; is not selfish;
    is not provoked; does not keep a record of wrongs;
    finds no joy in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth;

The last line, "but rejoices in the truth."  Something interesting that I had spoken to one person in the past about is how the truth has a certain vibrance to it.  A person can sort of feel it in their heart.  An item that might be pondered is how Father's Spirit rejoices in Truth, how Father is love, how one's heart can house Father's Spirit, and how one's own heart can rejoice in the Truth if in Union with Father's Spirit, and in that way, also with Father's love.

Another interesting concept was about how the center of a person's vision is less apt to adapt to low-light conditions as one's peripheral.  Although the center of one's vision is a focus point for light to be received, it doesn't mean that it has to be slow to adapt to a change in lighting.  It may be a genetic thing, but ... though, genetics are the way they are for a reason.  Perhaps learning a symbolic reason for why this is might be for a another time, but one scripture that seems to tie in with this concept is this:


Ecclesiastes 11:7 -- Light is sweet, and it is pleasing for the eyes to see the sun.

If a portion of one's eyes is full from light, it may take more time for that portion to be rested from it, kind of like a stomach with certain nutrients.

Ecclesiastes 1:8 -- All things are wearisome; man is unable to speak. The eye is not satisfied by seeing or the ear filled with hearing.

On another note:

2 Peter 3:9 -- The Lord does not delay His promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

Father has made promises, and fulfills them.  Christ did not delay his own help.  As Christ's footstep followers, we should learn to do the same.

If a pattern in eating a certain food creates a pattern of bad side effects, it would make sense to stop eating that food.  However, praying to Father for a suitable substitute for the nutrients that would be found in that food that provides adverse side effects might be a good idea.
