For a while now , they had hoped for that perfect day. You know, the one you dreamt about as a child. Where you are swept of your feet by that seemingly perfect prince/princess. Now they think aloud, "maybe those books lied to us", "maybe those movies played with our innocent minds", because its taking so long to find true love , one that would lead to the famous"happily ever after".
They look in the mirror and say "i am smart, intelligent, easy-on-the-eyes, confident, focused , yada yada yada yada and above all , God fearing" (the magic line we always use). They have stooped from kings/queens to court jesters and jokers without knowing , because the so called lover they found made them feel they needed to change into what would suit the so-called lover best.
They've given everything including their bodies (even when they know the good book says, the bed has to be undefiled, Heb 13:4). They've taken up new characters, thereby losing themselves in the process and console themselves by saying "if it makes him/her happy, then its all good". let me ask? Who do you think you are kidding? He tells you " give me some time to make some money", "if you didnt live so far away, i swear we would be married". Are you for real? then why doesnt he need more money to sleep with you or why is distance never that far away when he needs you to roll in the hay? Wake up and smell the coffee cause you are fast becoming the lie he speaks.
She tells you " its not like i don't love you enough, im just taking my time", "you mean the world to me but i just need to be sure" . I ask again , are you for real? how come she doesn't need more time when she needs you to pick up her bills? and why is she busy rubbing someone else's belly if indeed you mean the world to her? Don't sweat the silly things, don't hold onto something that never was, no matter how hard it is to let go.
Have you forgotten, he made her from his rib, which means he made her just for him and just like him. A king will take nothing but a queen even with all her flaws. He is a gardner who would tend her to fulfilment and in turn find fulfilment. He/She wouldn't need you to be anybody else, neither would they tell you lies because if they did, they would be hurting themselves.
They would see in you the truth, make you believe the truth and cause you to become the truth which is, YOU ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!
Let the poem (How Come I'm still Single) by Kim Fields below challenge you not to settle for less and open your eyes to see that you dont need those lies, let alone believe or become them.
Love.
