amateur at love

If you've never been in love, and are still waiting for that one who will cause your heart to open as well as to grow strong. Can I tell you that its worth more than you know, to wait and choose wisely... 

I think we can all agree, that whats the fastest option isn't always the best. Whats the easiest choice isn't always right. It's interesting how we all try and avoid hard decisions as best possible, and reflect on difficulty as being so absurd and not how it should be. When so often the best decisions were made in the hardest times. Don't avoid difficulty by making rash steps in what seems to be easiest or most natural at the time.

Also, what you think you want or need, is definitely not always who is right for you. 

Take time to get to know a person. Because who you think someone is however well you know them, is most definitely not ALL they are. And though you'll spend your life getting to know someone, I think there is a level of knowing you can achieve that is enough to help you live at peace with your decision. Don't make that choice out of force, ignorance, or guilt. Take the time you both need. 

And last of all, it is definitely a great idea to get a sense of God's approval. I don't think He necessarily always tells you the answer. Though, I do think that when it comes to making these BIG decisions, He certainly (as always) cares most about you than anyone else and will do everything to help you on the journey. So yes, ask God for peace and direction, but don't wait forever for a yes or no because whoever it is you will spend the rest of your life with, it must be your choice too. Popular belief tells us that there will be hard times, and when they come, we shouldn't feel like we have the right to blame God for something we chose ourselves. But we can trust that just like all the other times He guided us and was there for us, so He always will be. As long as we place our hope in Him, and as long as our desires are His, our choices whether right or wrong, will never tear us away from His love or the life we can have in Him. 

Wait for the one you feel you can commit to choosing everyday. 

But also, take time to really "get to know" people

before you dismiss them or give in to them. 

What do you think? 

P.S. I love Jason Lessels

I also love Messina

This is not a hint 

It's just a random fact 

Emmanuel

In the silence, He speaks

Through the silence, He speaks

When our hearts are still and our minds at rest, He speaks and reminds us of His beauty, grace, and strength.

Patience ever lingering, unceasing, waiting for our choices to be Him. 

At times the silence carries more weight and worth than words.

It is often through silence that we gain and absorb what is 

revealed to us in the most peculiar places.

In silence we can hear the sighs of our hearts and are reminded that our very breath comes from God alone.

If you feel like you haven't heard Him in a while, my hope and trust is that He is surely whispering, "I'm here". His very presence is just that, here with us. 

Emmanuel.
