GIVE IT TO GOD

Last year, God led me to a site that had the picture above. And for me, it came right in time. Well, God spoke to me in different ways also, speaking the same message but I was too busy indulging myself in my emotions. Thus, I willfully shut God's voice behind. Eventually, everything that is not of God, will only lead to unnecessary pain. This message is timeless. It may come right in time to someone, somewhere. 

Letting go might hurt at first but every time we let go in obedience to the Lord, we're not letting go in vain. There is nothing more liberating than dying to our own will and living according to God's will. For, "all things have been created through him and for him." -Colossians 1:16

"...yet not my will, but yours be done.”

-Jesus, Luke 22:42 

DOES GOD CARE ABOUT YOUR LOVELIFE?

from photobucket.com

“God, where are you in this?” my heart cried silently. “I am your child. All my life, you know I have longed for something beautiful. I have searched for true love. Does a pure and perfect romance even exist in this dark world of lust and perversion and sin? Should I even dare to dream of something beyond the shallow, meaningless, cheap version of love I’ve known so far?”

Then came a soft, gentle tugging upon my heart. Suddenly I somehow knew that my life did not need to be this way and that God had something better for me. It was almost as if God Himself was reminding me, “I am the Author of True Love; I am the Creator of Romance.”

A quiet challenge deeply touched my spirit in that moment, as if God were tenderly standing before me, with tears of boundless love in His eyes, whispering to my heart, “You have searched for true love in your own way. But My ways are not your ways. I want to script a beautiful tale just for you, but first you must trust Me with the pen of this precious area of your life. Will you let Me write your love story?”

-Leslie Ludy, When God Writes Your Love Story

WHY I DON'T DREAD V.DAY (the way I used to) EVEN IF I'M SINGLE?
1. I already view Romance from a different perspective. Different means from God's perspective, that is what the Bible and not the hollywood, teleserye's, and what the most of the people in the world say about love.
2. I've had enough of years wanting and longing for the wrong kind of love from the wrong person at the wrong time.
3. I'm up to giving my heart to God, fully...(which is a long and tough journey) so that He can give it to the man of His choice for me.
4. God is the Author of My LIFE, that means He is also the Author of my LOVE STORY.
5. I'm not just "waiting "to become a boy's girlfriend, I'm "waiting" to become a man's wife.

“To wait for the right person, ultimately is to make oneself the right one for whoever God has prepared for you...”

LOVE IS FREE

No one has the power to cause someone he loves to love him back. Well, God has. He is all-powerful as He says, but He chose not to use it. Love is something you cannot ask for. It's something you cannot beg for. It is freely given by someone who truly loves. And it hurts when you realize that the one you've chosen to freely give your love, is also free not to love you back.

Love is free; but you cannot have it all the time-- not the way you want, at least. 

ONE WORD WORLD

What does LOVE really mean?

Some philosophers say it is blind. Is it really blind? Or the lover just chose to be blind? not the love in itself?

What's with love that a person doesn't mind waiting no matter how long it takes just to be with the one she loves?

My friend, Abi said, "It's worth the wait."

What's with love that it can change an entire world of a person?

Another friend said that it can give you the best and also the worst feeling you can ever have.

What's with love that once you have it, it's hard to let it go? or I should I say that once it had you, it's hard for it to let you go?

Apostle Paul said love is patient and kind.

Jesus said He loves us with an everlasting love.

Christians like me believe that love is not a mere emotion. It is a decision; or to state it in a greater weight, it is a committment.

Is love a command?

Some say it is a lifestyle.

Some only understand the romantic aspect of love, because I must admit, it is the easiest one to understand.

The kind of love that gives the best happiness when you're together.
The kind of love that gives you the worst pain when you break up.
The kind of love that gives present during special dates on special calender dates.
The kind of love that wants to know everything about a person and the same love that longs to be with that person.

What's with love that an unsatisfied hunger for it can shatter hearts?

Is love a need?

The kind of love that a child longs for a parent to spend quality time with her.
The kind of love that longs for someone's presence.
The kind of love that longs for someone's shoulder to cry on.
The kind of love that longs to be heard.
The kind of love that longs to be talked to.

What's with love that people can endure a painful sacrifice for the good of the ones they love?

The kind of love that prompts a mother t go abroad to give better provisions for her family.
The kind of love that enables a husband to take care of a disabled wife.
The kind of love that enables parents to forgive a wayward child.
The kind of love that wants a person to be happy even if that happiness means pain to him.
The kind of Love that sends His son to save the world.

What does LOVE really mean?

Honestly, the romantic aspect of love is something I can just imagine but I still can not. It is something that I've never gotten into and I wonder when will be the time I could fully understand it on my own.

Or should I understand it?

Love as far as I can remember is one word that has the most definitions, yet not fully understood.
