1 Timothy 5
It talks about widows and whether or not someone is truly a widow. I think I had this thought before, but I don't quite remember. Makes me think that they're speaking symbolically and referring to us as being widows. Symbolically speaking, having the things that we hold precious and dear and have "married" our lives to die. With nothing left, turning to God - that's what it means to "truly" be a widow, or at least that's one thing I feel that it might be saying. Life is hard and full of temptations and dying to yourself is difficult beyond belief.
