When you fall in love it's scary, it's scary for a variety of reasons but one of them is that you lose a part of yourself. By falling in love you give a piece of your heart to another person, this gives them the opportunity to do whatever they wish with that part of you. Some people will guard the piece of your heart you've given, some will realize your efforts and your value, and others will break that heart, and they don't just break it once, but rather multiple times. When you fall in love you give someone your time, you make them a priority, you value them over and above everything else, and when your amount and quality of efforts are not given in return, a little piece of the heart you've given breaks, and the more this continues to happen the more you break as a person. Sometimes were so wrapped up in how much we love someone that we don't realize hoe they are treating us is wrong. We will justify anything for a person we love, we will fight until we are so broken we can hardly move for a person we love, because if your like me, when you love someone, you love them whole- heartedly so instead of giving them just a piece of your heart, you hand it all over which only gives them more power. Love is scary because just because you value a person to the point you would literally go to the ends of the earth to fight for them, that doesn't mean they would do that for you. You can fight for someone all you want but in the end if they don't fight for you is it truly love? Love is a two way street and the tricky part is finding someone who not only wants to walk beside you, but also towards you despite whatever boundaries and obstacles may be in the way. My advice to all my ladies out there tonight, please listen to me so you don't have to feel the pain yourself. Find someone who values you as much as you value them, find someone who will walk with you and towards you. Find someone who will fight for you, someone who loves every part of you, not just your body but your mind. Find someone who will cradle your heart, guard your heart and be cautious of their actions to ensure they don't break even a fragment of it. Find someone who knows your heart to the point they know what they have, they know your value (which is priceless by the way). Find someone who knows your creator, because if they know your creator then they know that you my dear are worth more then gold, they know you are a gift, they know you are more special and important then words can ever describe. And lastly, find someone who doesn't just say words,but someone who proves them with actions. Find someone who is slow to speak yet means every word they say. Remember your worth ladies, remember that you are a child of the one true king and you deserve nothing less then the best. When things get rough and your in a time of question, remind yourself to stick to what God wants in your life, draw near to him and he will help you rise. To all the girls, ladies and women out there, you are incredible,you are strong, you are worth it, you are needed, and you are truly beautiful, don't let anyone tell you any different!
A thought came to me today as I stumbled upon some inspirational posts. Why are we often so eager to escape our troubling circumstances. We get trapped in the fire and get so focused on getting out that perhaps we miss the most important question of all, what refining needs to be completed in the fire? Just as a welder uses the fire to shape and refine metal, so God uses our circumstances, "fires" to shape and refine us. If he simply swooped in and saved the day, we would lack the knowledge he hopes us to gain, we wouldn't grow in character or wisdom. In the fire we think he abandom us, left us to our own devices, but in reality he is more present in the fire even then in the calm. It's when we feel abandoned that he's calling to us the loudest, beckoning us to just open our ears to listen to his voice. Take the fires in stride, don't immediately reach for the extinguisher. Allow the flames to surround you with the confident knowledge that the one whom the...
