i was just reading Joshua’s Harris book, as a morning refresher…and I am into page 189 where it talks about moving from Friendship into the BIG m…so yea…I have yet to fin the chapter… it really hit me because of what happened during the weekend….
Causal friendships and deeper friendships are 2 totally different things…as seen by JH.
About last weekend..i was really shocked..no words to describe the varied types of feelings I had..flooding my heart…my being…wowo….
I know and feel that I am truly blessed with the amounts of love I have around me. Parents, sisters, friends…everyone has showered me with their love one way or another. And I thank you for that.
I have this urge to tell people who ask me this stupid question…”are you dating anyone? You should be you know..you’re at that age…” well my answer to them is “No.” simple as that ..i am not.. why?
let me quote from “Kiss Dating Goodbye”..“every time you feel attracted to someone, keep in mind that you’re involved in three kinds of relationship….”
Shocked? Don’t quite get it? Well as I have always emphasized in any relationship- that it’s not only about the physical. I believe relationships such as BGR and BFF are all the same. They follow the same patterns. Every relationship should have a spiritual, mental and emotional aspect to it. However what JH means is these: the relationship you have w the person you are interested in; your relationship with pple around you and most important; the relationship you have with GOD. And I agree with Joshua.
This book has kept me accountable to the "ifs"- i have feelings for someone. As said in the bible,
“ Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.” Song of Songs 8:4….it speaks so much to me and should to those singles out dere.…not to awaken a love until it so desires… Patience. It’s the best answer.
Dear Friends, I may have feelings for someone. I mean who doesn’t, right? We are merely humans. We feel. We admire. We love. We aspire. It’s how our Creator wanted us to be. However, I have chosen to honour my singlehood and God. That’s why I am still single..and Songs of Song has shown me that there’s love out there for everyone. And that when it “awakes” , it will be the best of songs….
To that special friend, I am truly and humbly sorry if I have hurt you in anyway. I am sorry that things couldn’t go to as you plan. But God’s love is not gonna leave you. You will feel his embrace when you are sad, you feel his presence when you feel lonely. It stated in the Bible. He’s so proud of you…of where you are..how far you have come. Trust in Him. Wholeheartedly. You will see the difference.
