Gentle Awakening
There are so many things in life that you have to do, even if it’s something you don’t want to do, especially when it comes to relationships.
To love someone is to wish for their happiness, even if it doesn’t include you in their life.
It took me a really long time to realize the true meaning of this quote. Back then, I had a weak grasp around this idea, but now I understand and I’ve accepted this quote into my life. Recently, there’s been lots of ups and downs in my love life, and I was ignorant to the truth that was right in front of me. But because of the latest “down” that I just faced, I learned that I can’t be wasting someone’s precious time that they could be using to do something more important or get to know someone else. And I can’t be wasting my time either, for ever day that I waste is another day that I have to wait to meet the one that is meant for me, the “perfect” match. Of course, no one out there is “perfect”; a happy ending won’t just be given to you in this world. You have to work for it. You have to earn it: companionship, trust, commitment, understanding, patience. If you work hard for this, God will reward you with the greatest gift of love. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about the worldly definition of love, I mean God’s definition of love. His unconditional love. Every day a lot of us strive to be like him, but why don’t we ever succeed? Because we are human; we can never be like Him. However, as for me, no matter how hard it is, I think I should strive to be ALMOST like him.
God, please help me and guide me. Amen.
