Don't Give Your Love To Anyone!

I don’t want to use the word “love” far too casually in my life. I think some have mistreated the word. Love is powerful, it is profound, it is a word that builds and enriches. Yet love is not some simple relief to mend wounds, it is so much more than that, and deserves to be so much more than that.
Don’t often use the word love out of desperation just because you are afraid of losing something that was never really for you to begin with. The desire to express deep affection may cheapened the word, I’m telling you.

But that’s not the way things work.
I’ve been through several attempts to build a true forever-like relationship with some guys I used to love and ended in pain. I know the feeling of driving home alone with a heavy heart, wondering when the reality of the situation would sink in and the overwhelming sense of isolation would build its walls around me. I know the feeling when the presence or absence of the sun does not determine the greyness of the skies (wow! haha). No amount of pain is insignificant. And though we try to make it less than what it is, we can’t do anything because the reality is sometimes, life is filled with loneliness. This is a hard thing to accept, and often something we don’t want to believe about a world created by a loving God.

However, I believe Jesus knew this better than any of us.
Indeed I’m lost…but I was made this way to be found J
Love yourself first so you know what kind of love you deserve…
Today is I Love Myself Day!

Cheers!
