Hey you guys,
SO. Today's topic is going to be about ...... LOVE. Relationships. All that jazz.
Now. I've been in a relationship, but it didn't end too well. I'm sure that if any of you have ever had your heart broken, you're well aware that it's no fun at all. Even if you weren't even dating, you found out the person you liked liked someone else, or the person you had feelings for didn't feel the same towards you. I know. It hurts. Sometimes it feels like nothing else in the world matters at that point, all you want to think about is what went wrong. What happened. What could have happened. I am no stranger to this. I got my heart broken really badly, and you know what? It hurt. Alot. After I got out of the relationship, it took me the longest time to get over him. It took me about a year, and I'm not even sure if I'm fully there yet either.
I have a challenge for you guys today. Think about a person you love. It doesn't matter if it's romantic, just family, or just friends. It doesn't matter. NOW. Think about why you love them. Why they're so special to you. Love is a beautiful, beautiful thing. I love my parents, and so often I take them for granted. They're the people I'm putting down. I love them because they help me. They believe in me. They want what's best for me. AND, they love me no matter what. I'm always going to be their little girl. I believe that so often we take love for granted. We think that the people in our life will be there forever, so if we treat them horribly now, it won't matter in 5 years because we can apologize then. But that's not the truth.
The truth is that the people in our lives are here now, and we need to appreciate them for exactly that. So maybe your mom nags you to do your homework all the time. Or maybe your brother or sister couldn't get any more annoying. But, they love you. And I'm sure, under some of that resentment and anger and even just being plain annoyed, you love them too.
I will come out and say it, I'm a total sucker for love. When I fall, I fall hard. So for any of you out there that are prejudiced against the word love, because you've been hurt too many times to count, or every time you seem to fall for the wrong person, or the rug's been pulled out from under you too many times for you to get back on your feet again, put all of that aside. You may feel like you've got reasons to be angry, but in truth, you've always got someone who loves you.
God loves you SO much, that He sent his only Son, Jesus, to Earth to die for you on the cross, so you can live the life you live today. So you can live a life full of forgiveness and truth and a life that's free of sin. Now, THAT's love.
I challenge you all to believe in love, because it's there. All hurt and pain and anger aside, you've got a reason to love. And you've got someone you has a reason to love you. God loves you for EXACTLY who you are. Every freckle on your face and every hair on your head, he loves it all.
If that's not love, then everything I've just written is pointless.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
I hope I've left you all something to think about.
Enjoy your Friday. :)
