Unconditional Love

I believe that we have forgotten what unconditional love is. I believe that we start out with the intentions to love our partner unconditionally but once something comes up that is unexpected or ugly or something we don't like or something we can't handle we bail, we jump ship. But I think this is stuff we need to turn over to God, let God handle the ugliness, He handles our ugliness why can't he handle the ugliness of a relationship.

I don't have the best past when it comes to relationships. I have been with guy after guy that either said he believed in God, but didn't have the faith to back it up or a guy that said he didn't believe in God. The Bible says we need to be equally yoked and I never took that advice, however I believe it is necessary for multiple reasons. 1- If you are with someone who understands and has the same faith in God that you have, they will understand why you believe everything will work out. And they will believe the same thing. You will much more willing to work through the hard stuff. 2- I'm going to try to describe an illustration, so please bare with me. Let's say your partner is not a believer. Let's say you are the Christian and you are standing on a table and your partner is standing on the ground, and now you grab each other's hands and start pulling. What's going to happen? I can tell you that 99.9% of the time you are going to be pulled off that table. Why? Because it is so much easier to pull down that it is to pull up. God is the God of the impossible and He may have you in a relationship with a non Christian for a reason. But please make sure the relationship is of Him and you are walking in His steps because if you don't you will be pulled down. I know, I've been there. I've been pulled. But I refuse to let it happen again. I will not be pulled down.

Pray and have faith in Him. He loves you and wants only what's best for you.

In Love...

So I have lately been told that someone I know thinks I have ADD, only because I change subject jump (in a conversation) like crazy. I call it multi tasking, but whatever :) But my mind tends to wonder a lot.. Sometimes places I don't want it to go.  But anyways, what does it mean to be in love with someone, as opposed to just loving them? I had never really thought there was a difference, silly I know?! Don't judge! Here's the difference, in my opinion. Being in love with someone, means you think about them all day. Means you worry about them, you want to be around them all the time. It means that no matter what happens you will stand next to their stand to support them.  I believe people can fall out of love and unfortunately it happens all the time nowadays. The trick is staying in love, it's work, nothing in life is easy. Now you can love someone, for example I love my best friend with all my heart but I don't think about her all day. lol Loving them just means I really really care for them.
I pray that God leads us to the people we are to love and the one we are suppose to be in love with.

Remember God's timing is PERFECT!

Heartbreak

Were we designed to feel heartbreak?

While talking to a friend of mine, they said something to me that made me thing about my love life. "It would be easy to serve God if things always went our way." Granted, I know this applies to more than just my love life, but just humor me.  How would I know how truly great God is if I hadn't had to call out to Him in my hurt? If He hadn't delivered me from my pain? All my praise for Him is because I have seen what He can do.  How more grateful will I be for a Godly man that loves me with the love of Christ, after seeing the selfishness of other men? How much better of a woman will I be, having the same love of Christ. The unconditional love. I looked up unconditional in the dictionary, and it says complete, how fitting.
