What does this verse mean to you my friends...?
It means that we who love are the predestined of God. He is the Father of lights. He knew us before the foundation of the world. You that are of the Father, never questioned the existence of God, but you sought Him out through your entire life, and loved people right from the beginning of reason. You are of the seed of the living Christ. You were in His loins from the beginning (Spiritually). You want to be one with your Father and Mother (God and the Spirit Church). Jesus is the head and we are the body (the Christ) (the husband and the bride). Brothers and Sisters in God. We are His living temple made without hands. We are the flesh body of the living God. Jesus is come in the flesh. Love one another as you yourself for no one ever hated his own body. This is the body we must love: even the New Jerusalem which comes down out of Heaven, the Mother of us all (Eve, the mother of all living) who is perpetual and continues to add unto the Body: Sons of God.
What to do when a beloved friend uses you?
I love my friend, she is my best friend. But I know she is using me. Let me tell you that she is the only who checks on my multiple times a day, listens to me, is supportive, talks to me when I am sad and knows a lot about me. And she makes a lot more money than do and she knows it. But she asks me for little favors like buying this and that and she will pay later - she has never paid me yet. And once she tried to pay me but her accountant screwed up and her check bounced and because I had cashed it out, I had to return about $4000 to the bank. She was very apologetic and said she would make up for that. She might, I don't know but asking for favors continues and she knows I cannot afford. I am on one side afraid to get into more financial trouble and on the other side I really don't want to lose the friendship. What hurts me even more is that she doesn't want to hang out with me. But she is actually really cool and everybody wants to be her friend. What should I do? Please, thoughtful comments. Thank you.
What does it mean to love someone as a friend?
To love someone as a friend, in my humble opinion, can mean any (if not most or all) of the following:You see your friend as they are, rather than what you want them to beYou accept them at their worst, no strings attachedYou praise them at their best, no jealousy involvedYou care deeply about their wellbeingYou want what’s best for them (even if that ‘best’ doesn’t include you eg. friend gets a scholarship abroad, you would want them to accept it, even though you will not see them for a long time)You are somewhat attached to them, but you also have that underlying sense of security that they won’t leave your sideYou keep up to date with their life as you are genuinely interested in itYou feel the need to protect them in one way or another ( eg. mentally, from negativity, or physically from bullies, et cetera)Your role in their life switches (by choice) from:strict parent figure- “No more cookies Jessica, you’ve had enough for today”to annoying little sibling- “Hey Jessie, hey Jessie, it feels like a party every day, hey hey hey hey hey Jessie!”to wise grandmother- “You are so beautiful and smart. Don’t ever forget how much you’re worth, my dear”You can’t not like being around themYou need space from them sometimes, as that’s normal and human. It might me days, or weeks or even months, but, when you come around, it’s like you never stopped talking…Overall though, true friendships reside in the heart.You feel the mutual bond and just know your love for them can withstand time, distance, disagreements and mistakes (sometimes).Hope this helps!Peace
What is the Hebrew word for "beloved friend"?
ummmm you kind of confused me. hebrew is not written in the arabic alphabet if that's what you suggested! I do not know much arabic and would have a very difficult time spelling that out for you. However, I'm a hebrew speaker. the person above me was nearly right, it's actually written חבר אהוב she wrote "haver ahov" when the first "h" is actually a chet.. like hamas is supposed to be pronounced and the like. You can also go for חברי היקר (my dear friend, sounds better in hebrew) h(chet)averi hayakar or חברי האהוב (my beloved friend) h(chet)averi ha'ahoov (again, sounds better in the hebrew language)

What do these lines by Rumi mean: If the beloved is everywhere, the lover is a veil, but when living itself becomes the Friend, lovers disappear.
Like much brilliant poetry, Rumi's lines might seem to present, at first glance, an arcane, impenetrable riddle. If given deeper attention, I think they succinctly offer ideas worthy of careful consideration. Here's what the lines suggest to me:1. "If the beloved is everywhere, the lover is a veil..."If we devote our love wholeheartedly to things that are less than everything, we will fall into the trap of believing that the objects of our devotion are attempting to find expression in everything and are the measure of the "rightness" or "wrongness" of anything. For example, devotees of ideology "A" might squabble with devotees of ideology "B" because each group thinks the other's ideology is a corruptive paradigm that systemically suppresses or distorts a presupposed "truth" that is yearning to emerge from all things . When we're in this trap, our perceptive powers are limited by an obscuring veil of biases that makes it extremely difficult to access the rich data of direct experience. So, we lose our opportunities to learn from that data, and thus we cannot gain the wisdom that comes from open-mindedness and its profound corollary: open-heartedness.2. "...but when living itself becomes the Friend, lovers disappear." If we do our best to remain open to the direct experiences of life without filtering them through our prejudices, we're less likely to deepen those prejudices and more likely to soften them and let them gradually evaporate.For example, a devotee of ideology "A" and a devotee of ideology "B" might let go of their mutual hostility when they do their best to cooperate with each other as volunteers at a local food bank. They might discover that their "unfiltered" mutual connection, expressed through joint action on behalf of others, has vastly greater beauty and utility then the alienation they experience when each decides the other's worth through the limitations of a restrictive set of beliefs.Thus, this second part of the quotation, when understood in relation to the first part, completes the poet's invitation for us to consider whether the way we've chosen to love is increasing or decreasing our "oneness" with one another and with the world around us.
What does it mean when someone is beloved?
This is such a beautiful word. Beloved.Technically, all it means is a person who is loved, but it has a charm to it, a feeling of devotion and permanence.He is my beloved. She was beloved by all.It’s not something you hear often anymore, it has an old world feel to it. While people casually toss around the word “love” for things like their favorite foods, TV shows or celebrities, “beloved” has a much more personal and emotional feel to it.
What does it mean when a girl calls you “my love”? I like a girl who calls me that; we've been friends for a while, and her long-term-relationship ended three months ago?
Well, i know you you’re expecting a positive answer for your situation but i COULD mean absolutely nothingi mean, me as a girl, when i feel close enough with a person, meaning there’s a bond with trust, i start calling people with pet names, i usually call my friends, guys and girls “baby” or “sweetheart” sometimes i have even called them “love” as well, but it is understood that that’s the way i am, i talk, or me just be affectionateso, in your case, context is needed, does she say that to everyone? or is it usual for her to express herself like that? how does she sound when she says it to you?So, IF she only says it to you and sounds all cutesy, like trying to grab your attention, maybe she is dropping a hint, or if she’s changed her attitude towards you in a way that would lead you to think she is interested in you in such wayon the other hand just keep in mind that she could be just expressing affection for you since you’ve been friends for longi hope it works out for the bestCheers!
What does it mean when a guy calls you a "dear FRIEND"?
He most likely is letting you know in a nice way that he doesn't want to have a relatioship that involves anything more then being good friends. Maybe he got the idea that you wanted more then friends and he is politely telling you that he isn't interested. Your lucky he is telling you in a nice simple way compared to some guys who will announce it to the world that he doesn't like you and doesn't want to be with you. If you are being flirty with him do not continue if he is calling you a dear friend because he might figure that you don't get the hint and he might have to go to plan B and tell you himself and at that point he might not be so polite and nice about it.
