ideals on love
Posted by concretegirl at 09:07 AM on November 3, 2004.
I've always had this perfect idea on how my love life is going to be. You can see from my other posts (especially this one) that I want a perfect love story. Something that when I relate it to other people, it would make them want to sigh, and be all giggly and stuff.
And right now, I'm waiting on God. I know that I still have a long way of preparation to go, and that God is also preparing the person He created for me. Sounds really idealistic...but I believe that. I don't want to risk my heart into any other relationships just because "I think he's the one." I refuse to go to that anymore because it hurts when I set my heart on something and then God would tell me, "No my daughter, he's not the one for you. I'm still preparing that person."
But like I said, I believe that. I have complete faith in God that He would bring me and that guy together in the proper place and time. And since I know that I will meet the person in the future, I wouldn't rush. If that person is actually someone I know right now, I won't push myself into that person and tell him that "You're the one God prepared for me", and then find ways for him to love me immediately. Like what the chapter I posted here said. I have trust God and believe that His timing is always perfect.
I mean, it's my love life for God's sake. It's not something to joke about. It's not an entirely big part of my life, but it's something that everyone looks forward to.
Let me post what a certain sister said during a YFC power camp in a Love Forum: "Sisters, one day, our prince charming will come and he will shed tears, sweat and even blood just to win our hearts over. Do not lower your standards to what the world seems to want, what the world seems to be giving you especially with the matters of the heart. We are beautiful. We are worth the pursuit!"
Okay, this is a SO Passion and Purity / When God Writes Your Love Story / I Kissed Dating Goodbye / other-Christian-books-that-talk-about-love post.
This is what I get when I read Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot all over again. Now if you'll excuse me for a moment... :D
