I just hate it when I'm asked "what should I do?". Most of the time I know that answer but the follow up question is, am I doing the same thing? I was asked this question today and I was placed on the spot. This is what should you do... but it's not exactly what I'm doing. As I said, I hate it. This simple question had my head spinning and got me to realize a dozen things about myself today.
The question was about love. And it's complicated. Love is always complicated. And I think I just complicated it even more. The hardest part about it is that it involves faith. While God wants us to be happy, we should be happy for the right reasons. It's not even a question of whether or not the relationship will work. It's more of is it approved by God? Is this the person God wants me to be with? Is this the person God planned for me? If the answer is no to all these then there's really no good rebuttal for it. We lose if we fight God. That's why He is God in the first place. It's not even an excuse that we're only human and we fall into temptation. Adam and Eve already used that excuse and look what happened to them, to us.
I told her to follow her heart. But the heart should be in the right place – it should be with God. If you choose something that’s not of God then it means you value that something more than God and things get really nasty from there. I should know – it happened to me. As I said, it’s easier said than done.
