True Love vs. Infatuation
I was laying in bed this morning listening to The Candi Show... (Magic 102.1) and Pastor Terrence was her guest this morning. Well, they were talking about "love" and how too many people nowadays are misplacing it with "infatuation." He also brought up that when you love someone, you'd sacrifice your needs, for theirs. He compared it to Gods love. But yeah, as I was lying there, I was also daydreaming, thought up a whole story cause of what they were talking about. It brought to my attention that, I never loved one of the people I thought I did. I think I've only been in love once, if that, and, I'm starting to feel as if it's happening again. Cause, when he was saying all the things that you'd do for the person you truly love. I had one person on my mind, and I was seeing if I'd do that for that person. I mean, I even asked myself if I would give up my life dream (being a singer) just to be with him. You know what happened? My eyes got watery and I said to myself, "Yeah, I would."
That's crazy, that'd be a big sacrifice but, I'd do it in a heartbeat if it meant I could spend a lifetime with him. CRAZY HUH? He also brought up when he was younger and wasn't fully mature yet, he didn't want to settle down and be married. But his (now) wife, stood by him and wouldn't let him go. So now that they're married (14 years now) he's proud of what she did and she's his world, his "prime rib" as he put it. So he said that when you love someone and something in you says, "Don't leave" then don't leave. That's God telling you that you're not suppose to leave. Well uh, that's another thing. Something in me has been telling me don't give up, wait it out. So, I've been waiting it out and, now I'm definitely gonna have to wait it out after hearing what Pastor Terrence was saying. In the words he used at one point, "you gonna love me." So yeah, I don't know but, the older I get the more religious I'm getting and the more intelligent/mature I'm getting with life, I love it...
He also said to call up someone and for no reason tell them you love them. Because you have no idea what it can do for someone. Then he said, matter fact, tell 10 people you love them today. So, I'm gonna message 10 people and tell them I love them. Friends, family and even maybe someone I actually might, "love." I don't know, I thought this might make some people think.
