You forgive to love more.

I give love until I am hurt and in pain. Then I forgive and come back ready to love more.

It’s a never ending cycle that I hope will teach me to love unconditionally..

“More of an expectation than an appreciation.”

simply-beloved:

inspirationalbullshit:

Sometimes, when you’re willing to go through flaming hoops for someone 24/7, they tend to take that for granted. It becomes more of an expectation than an appreciation. And as time goes by, you get tired of putting in so much effort in because you don’t get the same effort reciprocated back to you. It’s not that you mind doing so much for them. It just wouldn’t hurt to know what it feels like to be them every once in a while. 

So true.

Give Me Jesus - Jeremy Camp

You can have all of this world, just give me Jesus.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like(AU) a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.- Matthew 13:45

Help me to understand and see that nothing in this world can compare to You.

Don’t you think I’m tired of being the one who pursues after all we’ve gone through? 

For once, I just want to be one being pursued.

It’s so easy nowadays to change our appearances. With a few financial investment in a few items, we can completely change the way we look. To have bigger or prettier eyes, I could choose to wear eyeliner, eye shadow, or wear contact lenses instead of wearing my glasses. To attract men’s attention, I could choose to purchase and wear clothing that exposed some skin. To cover the blemishes or eye bags, foundation or concealer would do the job. To have double eyelids, there are surgical procedures that would have allowed me to possess such a feature. Or maybe a little photoshop or an instagram filter could change the lighting and coloring of our face to a smoother and more presentable look. I realized if I really wanted to change how I looked, I always had the choice to.  But then again, in a consumer society, don’t we all have that choice to change and to make a “better me”? Everyone has that choice to purchase a few products and have a few things alter through the art of makeup or beauty products, but I don’t think the change of appearance is the goal of all this. The goal of it all is that we just want to feel that we are good enough. We are worthy of the term, beautiful. We want to feel like, for once, I am pretty enough. So just like everyone else, I had a moment and time where I realized, I have that choice to change how I look if I’m not satisfied with it. But I also had a moment of realization that, I can also choose to believe that I am beautiful and my face is far more greater than what these products can do to my face. I have a choice to tell this society, no I don’t need your mascara, eyeliner, or foundation. My beauty is greater than those things. My face doesn’t need to change. Yes, I have blemishes. Yes, my face isn’t perfect. But I choose to believe that I have a beauty that no money can ever buy or convince me that it’s not worth being proud of. Because Lord knows when he created me, I am beautiful.

A while ago, a friend asked me if I would marry the one that I am dating now and to her surprise, my answer was a confident yes. To this, she responded and said, “Really? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll get bored of him?” I thought about her answer and simply told her, you have good days and boring days. Sometimes even the best times have to end, but it doesn’t mean my love is conditioned on the good days that we have. Love is unconditional and I have and still am drilling this into my heart and mind because of the experience of true love in my relationship with Christ. Because I can understood true love and commitment through my relationship with Christ, I desire to display the same in my own relationship with the one I love. I can confidently say that I intend to marry the one that I am with now, without fear of losing him or the doubt of thinking there is someone better out there for me, because that is what commitment is. I’m training for a lifelong commitment and I intend on learning how to keep this unconditional commitment because love is commitment. It isn’t, I’ll bail on you when things get boring or when circumstances are hard. It is, even when things get tough, I want to work it out with you. And no, I haven’t mastered this unconditional commitment, but for as long as he is with me and is willing to fight, I intend on fighting for this love to last till the end.

It was him not fighting for me. I gave him the ultimatum and he let me walk away. I didn’t want a life separate from him, and thats all he could give me. It’s like he’s driving a car and I just want to be in the passenger seat. He’s locked the door and I have to hold onto the bumper. I am not even asking him to open the door for me, just leave it unlocked and say come in, but he didn’t do that. So I am hanging on to the bumper and life goes on. And the car goes on and I get really badly bruised and I’m hitting potholes and it hurts, it really hurts. so yesterday I had to let go of the bumper because it hurts too much.

Luke 18:41-43  “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.”Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. Lord, I want to see. I’m stuck in a rut. I’ve let the worries and distractions of this world pollute my eyes. I can not see beyond my clouded eyes. Lord I just want to see you and I know you are able to open my eyes to the things unseen. To the things that I can’t understand right now.  So Lord, even in the midst of worries, help me Lord to see that you are still good and worthy to be held onto. Lord, help me to trust you.
