I'm one of those people who's a firm believer that certain vital footsteps to follow will lead you to the love of your life. And I am talking about honest to goodness, true blue, romantic, I-will-cherish-you-forever type love. Perfect love.
#1. DON'T go looking for someone to love. Rather, go looking for ways to love God. Seek him and obey him, and he will bring love to your doorstep (when you are least expecting it).
#2. DON'T keep saying to yourself, 'I'll get rid of the sin in my life later on'. Rather, surrender your heart and your life to God, and, SURPRISE, you will find yourself following step #1.
#3. DON'T keep things bottled up inside. Rather, have a heart-to-heart. Tell someone about your deepest secrets, regrets, sins, and failures. It gives you the freedom to feel peace and to share your burdens with another soul. Putting walls up only leads to self-destruction.
#4. DON'T be a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If you want someone to truly love the real you, act the same way towards everyone and do the same things around everyone. Remember, the same God that's with you at church on Sunday morning was with you at the bar on Saturday night.
Well, that's the best advice I have.
And believe me, I am definitely the one that most needs to heed it. I have a whole lot of crap that needs to come out. I want to be a different person that I am right now. I want to be a better person.
Starting tonight.
You are amazing <3
