Like I said previously “I live in a glasshouse”, but I will share what I have learned with anyone that is willing to listen. The second thing I have learned, is I had to make God my foundation and by doing so he has taught me some amazing things about myself that I didn't know. No I’m not telling you to run out to your nearest church and everything will be alright, what I’m telling you, is get to know him personally. Get to know him on a one on one level. Get to know him “FOR YOURSELF”. For me this meant forgetting everything I thought I knew about God and opening myself up to whatever it was that he was willing to teach and show me. I had to forget about all the Christians I came across that practiced hypocrisy and made me doubt him. I had to forget about everything the world told me about him and let him speak to me himself.
What a lot of us think we know about God isn’t “God”, but the actions and words of people that call themselves saints (no disrespect). What we know is how so and so carry themselves in the name of religion. What we forget is people are people and their not God, so you have to get to know him for yourself and he will blow you away. He has opened up my mind and given me understanding of self that I couldn’t have achieved on my own. He has given me a complete new outlook on life.
This is the key, once you get to know him he will introduce you to the real you. He will show you just how strong, wise and capable you are. He will teach you how a queen should be treated, he will teach you how to stop taking on the insecurities of others, he will teach you how to love someone, but not lose yourself in them, he will teach you how not to let others control your emotions. He will teach you how to be a woman and how to give yourself the love that you crave from others. He will show you that he’s GOT THIS and always have, but you never showed faith and let him handle the situation. When we don't have God in our lives we tend to try to fix everything the best way we can instead of leaving it alone and remaining focused on what really requires our attention. Fixing others is not our job, we can help by being the best that we can be, but let God do the fixing.
This is why it’s so important to get to know him, because relationships can be tricky and when you’re dealing with the needs of another you have to realize what’s your responsibility and what’s not. Every problem is not yours, most problems belong to the LORD...
This is not a blog that I want you to carry in your mind like a guide to dating 101, this is just something for you to think about. If it speaks to you than I hope you receive it, if not then so be it ;). Not everything is for everybody. Blog with me!!
#3 Do Not lose yourself in another.....
