Self Deception
Yes I know that, BUT... I know I should, BUT... Why all the but's? Why can't I just live it? I'm going off the rails. Luckily, God pulled me up. The conversation went a little like this:
"Lord, what do you want me to do about her? I can't help my feelings, but it's just not gonna work."
"She's already yours."
"What? No! That's not right... what am I supposed to do?"
"Follow me. She's already yours."
"How do you know? It can't be that simple!"
"Follow me."
And then I realised. What does anyone who loves God want? Someone who lights up that passion for God in their hearts! Following God makes me a model, and I can't do it without Him. The right kind of person will be attracted to me if I concentrate on God... because the right kind of person for me is one who loves God. That love and approval I seek from someone who matters to me, I can be assured is there simply because I follow God. At least I can sleep at night now without the pain gnawing at my soul. I wonder what tomorrow will bring... It's sure to be totally awesome!
